I am having problems replacing belt on a Amana washer. How do a get the belt around the small pully? What parts should I take off?

The motor has bolts that fasten it in place. By loosening those bolts, you can shift over the motor so you can slip the belt over. Then pull the motor back into place and retighten the bolts.

If the problem is getting the the belt over the pulley under the spin basket/transmission then slip the belt onto one side of the pulley, then (keeping your fingers clear) turn the pulley and the belt should crawl around with the pulley until it is properly seated.
