You can do it without much more disassembly. You have to get the belt around the left flywheeel. Back of the adjuster and then slip the belt over the flywheel. Re-tighten the adjuster. Both halves of the belt go under the right flywheel. To get it to the motor pulley, you have to remove one of the motor flange ount screws and loosen the other two. Then slide it around the motor pulley. I use chopsticks to help push and prod the belt where it should go. If i remember correctly the belt goes around the motor stand off. No special tools required, i did unscrew the right (logic) circuit board to access the motor mount screws.
Hoep this helps, and good luck.
