I would say your asking for trouble, you don’t want to damage the new belt. When I wound it on with me hands it took a lot of messing about to get it sat in the correct place as it has to go over the lip on the pas pulley. There is a good chance you will split the new belt if you try and spin the engine on starter and it’s not seated right.

Someone might come along with a better way but I couldn’t think of one once I’d chucked all my spanners across the drive.
