help needed changing the SC belt.

[zei220]

Can anyone give detailed instruction on changing the SC belt on the 230k? I don't want to break the 8mm bolt trying to move the tensioner.

Thanks,
Dave

I just use a long 8mm ring spanner with a 12" bit of 1/2" pipe welded on one end.,
I lever the tensioner to allow the belt to slip off and carefully let the spanner go back to rest.
Remove old belt.
Slip on new belt (if you can remember the route!
Pull tensioner back and slide belt over tensioner "Mind fingers"

It takes a lot of leverage.
