This is what i do i put on the hand brake install the belt over primary first than twist open secondary and belt will go on no problem.

Not too sure of any tricks just old fashion grunt.Shove the sheaves apart and pull the old belt off,slide the new one on and work it back and forth to get the secondary sheaves to close back up.A rear bumper stand for lifting the track off the ground helps here so you can start the sled and run the track around a couple of revolutions to seat the belt into place.If you don't have a stand then you can pick the sled up yourself while your wife runs the throttle and brake to seat the belt.

^^what Ron said,plus i like having the break on,just have it around the primary then spread the secondary and drop it in wrap it around.

also you may need to adjust deflection,let us know if the blet sqweels at
a stop..

Ron did you get your part yet bud?????

My belt deflection is ok if my track surges at idle right? belt sits flush to just above on the secondary and its brand new.
