you dont take off any wheels, take the machine out were you can work on it. put it on its side if you have too, the belt will be tight and hard to feed on, if it were not tight it would not work,, put the belt on the small wheel first. then feed the belt around one half side of the big wheel,as it gets tight keep turning the big wheel till the belt is on, mind your fingers as you go,,
