Remove the old drive belt and pulleys
Move the main motor driver out of the way and place it to the side.
See instructions here.
Use a 3 mm hex key to remove the 3 bolts holding the belt cover in place: 1 on top and 2 at the bottom.
Remove the belt cover and set it aside.
Use a 5 mm hex key to loosen the 2 bolts on the belt tensioner.
Remove the old drive belt.
Remove the pulleys
Use a 2 mm hex key to loosen the grub screw on the lower pulley. Slide the pulley off the shaft. If stuck, loosen the grub screw further.
Repeat this process for the upper pulley using a 2 mm hex key.
If the existing drive keys do not fit the new pulleys, pull them off with narrow-nosed pliers and install the new drive keys.
Install the new pulleys
Slide the lower pulley onto the shaft until it sits flush with the shaft.
Fasten the grub screw using a 2 mm hex key.
Install the upper pulley.
Fit the drive belt around the lower pulley first, then route it over the upper pulley. Rotate the upper pulley by hand to help guide the tight belt into position.
Align the upper pulley directly above the lower pulley, leaving a small space between the pulley and the alignment collar.
Tighten the grub screw using a 2 mm hex key.
Align the belt and tighten the 2 bolts on the belt tensioner using a 5 mm hex key. Proper belt tension allows you to twist the belt 90 degrees using your fingers.
Reinstall the belt cover and the main motor driver.
