The belt appears to have snapped on my Zanussi FLE1216W. How do I access the motor to fit the belt?

I took the top off but the back looks to complex to get off- Can I access from the base by lying it on its side?

    You may be able by leaning the machine forward to drop the belt over the motor pulley and feed it around the drum pulley turning to lead it on. To split the cabinet remove the top and there are two screws hidden behind plastic plugs in the middle. Remove these plus two from the side panels at the top on left and right. then remove 2/3 screws bottom back and unhook the valves to allow the rear half to pull away leaving the drum fixed to the front and base.
