Hey danny1,
You will need to remove the piston/rod first..[place a large punch or screwdriver between the open slots of the bottom pulley braced against the housing..remove the screw holding the bottom of the piston] the piston should move out of the way enough to start removing the belt off the bottom pulley..[a flat blade screwdriver should suffice.].to install the new one..start with the small pulley first and then feed or push the belt on the bottom one..reattach the bottom of the piston and reassemble..
hope this is helpful...
