hi kirsty, now i take it you know how to fit this belt on the pullys, but what i bet you havent done just yet is let off the tenshion for the belt, coz if you havent you wont get the new belt back on, and it will look like the new belts to short to fit on? no its not! on the motor theres a bolt throgh the motor that needs to be let off with a spaner this lets the motor move inwords and gives the slack to fit the new belt, when fitted over the pullys you tighten the moter up by putting a bar or something like a hamer handel in there behind the motor and pulling the belt tight again, bont over tighten it, but it must not slip, then tighten the bolt up again no the motor it helps to grow a new arm or two for this job? easy when you know how "A" good luck,
