A new belt, phillips screwdriver, and about 15 minutes, give or take. Bottom plate needs to come off. Top plate also (there are screws underneath holding it on). Don't forget, there is a screw hiding underneath the red "Hoover" sticker on the top. The sticker can just be pryed off with a regular screwdriver or knife. If you need and more help or parts, email me at arctic@worldlynx.net
