The key is the idler pulley is held on by a carriage bolt that you can't see. If you begin loosening the nut on the idler pulley, it will loosen until the square on the carriage bolt head raises up out of the square hole in the frame. After that it just turns along with the nut. The fix is to jam a screwdriver over the head of the carriage bolt to hold it down.
When you get the old idler off, the bracket that holds another idler will drop down as well. Per the video, you have to release the clutch lever, re-position the bracket on the special washer, and then install the new idler pulley.
Once the idler pulley nut is tight,engage the clutch and put the belt where it should be and you're done. Mine worked perfectly.

2. Removed and replaced tractor mounted idler pulleys, since bearings were noisy.
3. Disassembled mower deck - opted to overhaul blade tower supports (3) to clean and renew lubrication. RECOMMEND REPLACING THESE PARTS AS A UNIT, instead of overhaul.
4. Bearing failure had caused hole in deck-mounted pivot support bracket for belt tensioner to become elongated - opted to do nothing at this time.
5. Replacement pulley on pivot support was not sized to accept 7/16" dia bolt!!! Hardened spacer washer hole was too small as well. Re purposed another bolt from the ordered parts, and added washers as necessary to allow pulley to track properly without binding against the tensioner arm.
6. Removed and replaced other pulleys and hardware (these replacement parts were identical to the removed ones).
7. Installed new belt as per diagram on belt slip cover.
8. Reinstalled mower deck underneath the lawn tractor.
Works great!
These are Spare parts that will be installed the next time my blades need sharpening. I will install the parts when the deck is off the machine.
