Drive Belt Help

I have inherited a Model 500 and it vibrates excessively. I have ordered a new drive belt since the old one has over an inch of play. Anyone know how to remove the old and install the new?

I recommend you book mark these Shopsmith Web Sites:
http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/faq/markv.htm
http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/productmanuals.htm

View the Sawdust Sessions Video Index at
http://www.shopsmithacademy.com/Sawdust_Sessions.htm
Sessions 21 to 24 covers rebuilding the headstock.

This one gets you to the 25 maintenance procedures that I recommend copying to computer and back-up disk:

There is a procedure for replacing the belt in one of these 25 procedures.
