The belt doesn't go over the jockey wheels. the belt only goes over the motor spindle and under the two jockey wheels which provide the tension through the spring that holds them together. So, if you pull the wheels away from each other, there should be enough space for the belt to just fit under one, over the spindle and back under the other wheel. Hope this helps.
