Remove the belt from the large silver pulley. You will notice the part with the two coils called the wig wag. Under the left coil is a flat shaft. Rotate the large pulley to advance the flat shaft till its as far forward as possible. Insert a large screwdriver into the slot of the flat shaft until it comes out of the vertical shaft that it is inserted into by rotating the pulley with the screwdriver inserted into the slot in the shaft. Drop the vertical shaft till it almost comes out of the slot of the transmission it is inserted into. Tap the gray yoke off the top of the vertical shaft to allow enough room to slide the belt out. Slide the belt from where you removed the transmission bolt and spacer. You should now be able to remove the belt. Slide the new belt through the space where the bolt and spacer was removed. Slide the belt through where the vertical shaft was lowered. Position the belt around all pulleys except the pump pulley. Reinstall the transmission spacer and bolt. Reinstall the flat shaft through the vertical round shaft by lining the flat shaft with the slot in the vertical shaft and rotating the large silver pulley until the flat shaft goes all the way through the vertical shaft. Tap the yoke back into the top of the vertical shaft with the white plastic clip. Reinstall the spring. Line the pump pulley behind the belt and make sure the pump activator is positioned into the groove of the flat shaft controlled by the wig wag. insert the two pump bolts. You should be ready to go.
