If yours looks like this one: http://www.bissell.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=9778 lay the vacuum upside down, remove the screws that hold the plate over the brush roll, or some models just have tabs. Remove the plate and then take the brush roll out of the body. Place the new belt on the metal motor shaft and loop the brush roll pulley thru. Pull forward and place the roller into the housing, turn by hand a few rotations to make sure the belt is tracking straight. Replace the bottom plate and secure with either screws or click tabs in place. Flip vacuum over and it's ready for use. Make sure to keep your filters as clean as possible otherwise you will lose suction. You can wash any foam filters in the sink, but let them completely dry before re installing them; do not wash pleated heap filters, see owners manual for care and replacement.
