Reinstallation is reverse of removal. I usually loop it over all but the A/C pulley and put it back on with my right hand as I compress the tensioner with my left. At least I seem to remember it was the A/C pulley. Select whichever pulley is easiest to work with while you are compressing it with your other hand. Do not even think about NOT removing the fender liner. Besides, you need to get under there and remove the 6mm bolts, run a tap through the 'nuts' in the rest of the covers and liberally cover the threads with grease. If you have not done that in the last year, you need to anyway. When you least expect it, you will need to remove the cover and it will be a bitch. I never understood why Saab used SS studs and nuts on the fender liner and mild steel for the molly nuts and screws that hold the rest of the plastic clap-trap on.
