when re-installing the belt the loop method works well. one note would to be once you have the loop made infront of the water pump/crank pullies drop the bottom half down onto the crank shaft groove and run it around the idler pully and come back and slide the belt under the water pump pully. this frees up just a bit of clearance as opposed to trying to get the double thickness of the belt through that small clearance.
