Vortech belt help needed

Ok everytime I go to put the sc belt back on it such a pain in the ***!! I have the standard 6 rib set up and I have put a smaller pulley on (2.95) and I'm using a 59.2in. long belt. My question is how do you guys go about putting your belts back on? I have had the belt on before. It just always take's 2 people to get it on. Please tell me there is a easier way. Thanks in advance

1/2 inch drive breaker bar, and an 18MM wrench

Loosen the idler pully bolt for easier access to the tensioner bolt.

Put the belt on,. and pry back on the breaker.. Tighten the tensioner with an 18MM wrench, tighten the top pivot, then tighten the idler pully.
