Parts Used
1. Got the cover off easily once I had a torx driver, removed cover plate. Parts diagram from eReplacementParts was very helpful!
2. Figured that drive roller must be attached to other side of housing, but owners manual was not helpful and there was no information online about this unit.
3. Called Ridgid customer helpline and they said it would be a pin held in place by a cotter pin, but that's not at all what it looks like. Turns out the driver roller is held in place to a shaft by a REVERSE-THREADED NUT! I was going the wrong way, but once I turned the whole roller the opposite direction it just threaded right off. Replacement was easy. Next critical step is to get the housing back on with everything aligned and springs under tension so that the belt will stay on.
