| With a 5/16” or 8mm Nut Driver remove hose clamp on the fresh air tube and all of the cover bolts. The cover slides off easy, don’t force it. |
| Rotate the secondary so the ears in the center are at a 45-degree angle. Insert the clutch tool at a slight angle and pry toward the engine. |
| Now, work the belt up over the side of the secondary clutch. |
| When it gets too hard to rotate use the clutch tool to pry the ears again one more time. The belt should slip right off. |
| Inspect in between the ribs for signs of fraying. Also look around the sides and top for cracks or splits. |
| When you reinstall the old belt or a new one, make sure your label is facing the right way and can be read from the top. |
| Hang the belt over the primary, then use your tool to spread the secondary. You can then feed the belt between the sheaves. |
| When the belt gets too tight, pry with the tool one more time while feeding the belt on. Reinstall the cover and fresh air hose. |
