See Figure 5.44.
• Remove the spark plug using a 13/16” (21 mm)
wrench. With the piston rising on the compres-
sion stroke pack the cylinder with starter rope to
act as a piston stop.
• Remove the flywheel cover using 10 mm
wrench, and hold the flywheel nut using a 22 mm
wrench.
• Use a strap wrench on the driving pulley.

spread the sheaves of the driven pulley, and cre-
ate enough slack in the belt to allow easy
removal. See Figure 5.45.
5.46. Roll the belt off of the driven pulley on the tran-
saxle. See Figure 5.46.
5.47. To remove the driven pulley, begin by removing
the bolt that holds it to the input shaft of the tran-
saxle using a 3/4” wrench.
NOTE: If an impact wrench is not available, it
may be necessary to manually place the trans-
mission in Forward gear and set the parking
brake.
5.48. Carefully roll the drive belt off of the driven pul-
ley, then remove it from the driving pulley.
See Figure 5.48.
5.49. Reverse the process for installation.
NOTE: The arrow on the belt points in the direc-
tion of travel.
