HEllo i just changed mine todayalthough mine is an older HOTPOINT machine...there are 2 pulleys..you undo 2 small (8-10mm) screws that hold a coupling on..its rubber and sorta looks like a sliced onion..then you can remove the belt..both pulleys r tight, so on mine, i had to undo 3 bolts that hold the MOTOR down (use a DEEP socket ) ..you loosen these UNDERNEATH the motor..don't undo them all the way..just enough to slide the motor back and forth..this will loosen and tighten the belt like on a car alternator..USE a CROWBAR..HOLD the crowbar and retighten the 3 screws (or how many you have) that hold the motor...you should only be able to push a little over half an inch play..the belt should be fairly tight and ready to go..GOOD LUCK..my machine works fine now..we were ready to get rid of it and the belt only cost $8.00...its a bit of a tough job, but go for it..Gail
