Problem replacing Honda HRR216K2 drive belt

I have an older Honda Harmony II (HRR216K2). I'm trying to replace the drive belt myself and am running into problems. I've looked at lots of videos online but don't see any examples that show my particular model and what I am dealing with. Most instructions refer to unhooking a spring to enable the transmission to swing and attach the belt or remove a belt guide. Mine has neither. The transmission housing on mine is attached to a bolt with a spring on it and I can't see how to disconnect or otherwise loosen the transmission housing to attach the belt. I'm attaching a few photos showing what I am dealing with. Any tip are greatly appreciated.

I have a replacement belt and have watched all the videos on replacing the belt but none seem to show the exact model I have.

Thanks for replying. This video still doesn't reflect my model at all.

does the belt just drop over it? I what is the obstruction that keeps you from putting it on? Is there an idler pulley?

I can't get enough slack on the transmission to get the belt around it. I can see on other models that there is a spring to unhook to allow for slack but mine is a bit different. There is a long bolt with a spring threaded onto it that the transmission is attached to that keeps the belt tight when attached. I can't figure out how to remove or loosen that bolt. You can see it in my photos above just to the side of the belt wheel.

If you have someone that lives nearby don‘t be afraid to ask for assistance. After installing belt around engine pulley start belt on transmission pulley forcefully with both hands rotating transmission pulley & walking belt onto pulley. Let us know if this helps, thanks, Mark
