Could smell burning rubber as it tried to spin, so figured it was the belt. No, I did no do it the hard way by removing the screws etc. I threaded the belt on the pulleys on one side, and slowly turned them, using my fingers to force thread the belt into place. Worked like a charm.

I followed the instructions on your website to diagnose the problem, select the part needed for the repair, and fix the problem. Everything was as described in the video.
