   I'm thinking the last time I replaced mine I just slid the belt on.  Don't remember if it was that way, been years.

    

   If I had that question, I'd call Tim at Electric Tool and repair.  Tell him I suggested it.

   Looks like its a tight fit from the drawing. Is there a "ridge" to get the belt over? If so you might have to remove the pulley and slide it back on with the belt at the same time.

   USA: I can't remove the pulley. My guess is that it was
   "pressed" into it's position when it was manufactured.
   There is a "hub" at the end of the splined shaft of
   the pulley assemble, and this is where there is very
   little clearance. At this point, I think I'm going
   to use a little silicone spray and try again to slip
   it into place.

   No. It appears that the only way I can get the
   belt replaced is to take it to a "professional"
   tool repair shop. I'll do so given the oppertunity
   and post the out come

   Hi Jake

   I just had a look at the parts sheet again. Looks like the flange is removable. Check out the parts list.

   Might take some soaking before pulling it off. A little heat maybe.

   USA,Thank you for your input; however, items no.
   18, 19, 20, 21, 22 are firmly attached together
   with in item no. 24 and cannot be removed.
   I can only assume the componets are "pressed"
   into place or there is a/are locking spring
   washer(s) that snap into place and act as keepers
   once the pieces are assembled.

   Operating from memory here. I recall having to struggle slide the splined drive belt over the matching spline shafts.
   Nothing to remove, just struggle until it slips on. Bet I still have a couple of extra belts somewhere in the shop.

   I had one back in the 70s, and I know I replaced the belt.

   IIRC, I slid it over the big gear, then "walked it over the flange of the little gear by turning the arbor, sort of like the derailleur on a bike -- it's a heck of a lot easier when the thing is turning.

   That's the one with the wood table, isn't it? I made custom tables, extra-long, and glued solid triangular kneebraces to the bottom of the overhangs. A 1/4-20 machine screw threaded through the braces to push against the sides of the metal base, so I could adjust them flat, with no droop.

   And instead of just a straight rip of particle board, I bulged it out right up to the angle scale. The tables lasted a lot longer that way, because the stayed solid, and uncut, at that outside edge. But even so, one attic job and they were just about history.

   If you cant slip the belt over the pulley, try cutting the belt and threading it through........oh, Wait, forget it.
