Replacing the auxiliary belt is very straightforward, but it is important to note the routing through the various pulleys to proceed more quickly with the installation of the new one (you can make a sketch or take a photo). Therefore, remove the plastic cover at the base of the pulleys to facilitate the removal of the belt, loosen the tensioner by rotating it anti-clockwise, and slide off the old belt.

Ensure the new belt matches in both length and number of grooves. Run it through the pulleys and tension it.
