At the back you need to remove the small cover for the drum shaft bearing. Take out the split pin collar.By pushing the rear panel back gently until the drum shaft comes out, you can then feed the new belt over the drum. Reassemble machine except for right hand side panel and then hook belt over motor pulley. The belt is very tight and will need to be levered onto the motor.
