This information is from the lexus data manual

a. Install the V-ribbed belt

b. While turning the belt tensioner counterclockwise, remove the bar.

NOTICE:

Put the backside of the V-ribbed belt on the tensioner pulley and idler No. 1 pulley

Check that the V-ribbed belt is properly seated on each pulley.

c. After installing the V-ribbed belt, check that it fits properly in the ribbed grooves. Check to confirm that the belt has
not slipped out of the grooves on the bottom of the crank pulley by hand.

d. After installing a new belt, run the engine for approximately 5 minutes and then recheck the tension.

e. If it is difficult to install the V-ribbed belt, perform the following procedure.

i. Put the V-ribbed belt on every part except the tensioner pulley as shown in the illustration.

ii. While releasing the belt tension by turning the belt tensioner counterclockwise, put the V-ribbed belt on the tensioner pulley.

NOTICE:

Put the backside of the V-ribbed belt on the tensioner pulley and idler pulley.

Check that the V-ribbed belt is properly seated on each pulley.
