How do you install the serpentine drive belt on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier?

For the home "do-it-yourselfer":. I put the belt around all the wheels except the alternator, then I put a strong rope around the belt and as I pulled it up around the alternator wheel with the rope my son used a screw driver to guide it on, and it worked. You have to pull it hard to compress the spring loaded smooth wheel on the bottom back. There are suggestions to put it on the smooth wheels first but there is no easy way to do that. one of the bottom back smooth wheels is spring loaded and you have to pull the belt hard to compress that spring and make it go on. You can't do that easily and get it around one of the smooth guides, hence I came up with using a rope around the alternator because it is the easiest wheel to get at.
