use a long bar to press down on it and see if it will rotate so you can put the belt on.

Get the tool Regular belt tool's don't work

Personally I never had the tool and my best bet has always been taken the alternator off and wiggling it on and putting it back. Seems like a lot of work but for me has worked easier

We don't have a conventional tensioner if a hydraulic tensioner and doesn't go . Trust me

Was this supposed to make sense?

We DO have a spring-style belt tensioner. Just go to Autozone or wherever and rent the special belt tool. 30 seconds later the belt will be on.
