Make sure you have the correct length belt

Then....having someone hold the tensioner open.....slip belt under water pump pulley (the back side of the belt) onto the smooth surface of the water pump pulley.

Actually I have an aluminum Water Pump pulley with NO lip. For your stock situation maybe the alternator is the final pulley.

That I am not sure on the length.......as I have several different lengths having installed different alternator, Power steering, and Water Pump pulleys from time to time. You should be able to get the belt started around the alternator pulley....it might be tight but slip it over one groove at a time.
