Hi Matt,
I would say the belt will have to run around the pulleys, that angle will cause you problems. Are you saying you can't undo the nuts holding the idler pulleys on? If they are dome headed bolts then they should be held in a square hole in the plate. If this is what you are up against then it is going to become a dogfight. My only suggestion would be to cut the nuts off with a dremel or something similar. Once you have the pulleys off then you will have to work out how you can remount the pulleys. It can always be done, it depends on your skill level and the tools you have at your disposal
