This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. The belt is commonly found in Craftsman air compressors. This part is made of flexible rubber, and is used to transfer power between the piston and the pump assembly. Over time, it may become cracked and brittle, requiring replacement. You may need an Allen wrench or hex key when replacing this part. This item is sold individually.
First, remove the engine cover. Loosen screw on rocker arm to move out of the way. Install new belt, roll with the gear to engage belt properly, put back together. Pretty easy, the hardest part was holding the gear still to loosen the screw.
Remove the screws that hold the housing for the motor.
Remove the screws that hold the carrier handle
Separate the housing to get to the motor .
I used a t-45 torx bit ,which is what my compressor has ,along with a screwdriver to remove the screw on the connecting rod to be able to install the new belt . A screw driver
... Read more was used to wedge in between the connecting rod and the pulley to keep it from rotating as I removed the screw from the connecting rod . It is on there tight ,so use some force.
Once the connecting rod was separated installing the belt was easy ,start installing the belt on the small pulley and rotate the large pulley to allow the belt to slide/rotate on. The belt on my compressor was already shredded so I didn\'t have to remove the old one for the new one .I reassembled the housing shell and the handle . Works perfects now
