8. Inspect reeves drive and clean pulleys and shafts
9. When the spindle clears the inside of the casting replace the belt
10. Reassemble in reverse order
11. Be sure the shaft key is placed in the keyway and the keyways are aligned
12. The new belt will likely not fit like the old one therefore the reeves drive may need to be adjusted

Removed motor pulley from the motor. Removed headstock spindle from the headstock to replace belt. Clean motor shaft really well before mounting new pulley.

Follow the instructions in the owners manual for replacing a belt i.e.
1. Place belt in its highest speed range.
2. Remove belt cover housing.
3. Loosen sets screws in the hand wheel and unthread hand wheel. ( Make sure there isn\'t a second set screw under the first - sometimes installed at the factory as a locking mec ... Read more hanism)
4.Loosen socket head cap screw and unthread clamping nut.
5. Remove e-ring from spindle (This requires the spindle to be knocked over a little with a wooden block in order to get at it).
6. Loosen set screws in top pulley. (check for second set of set screws).
7. Use dowel rod or wooden block to knock spindle towards tailstock.
8. Once the spindle clears the housing the belt can be replaced by placing it over bottom pulley and top pulley. (This process requires that the key way be lined up completely in the slot on the spindle and in both halves of the upper pulley while the set screw is tightened to hold the pulley in place. A second set of hands is almost essential to this process. Replacing the e-ring is a little more difficult than removing it and requires needle nose pliers and a screw driver.)
9. If the bottom pulley needs to be realigned, snap ring pliers can remove the snap ring on the end of the motor shaft so the spring can be removed and the pulley halves aligned on the key way the same as the upper pulley. In order to replace the spring, cut a u shaped hole in a small piece of 1/4 inch plywood ( about 4\"by 2\"). Using two quick release clamps on the back of the motor stretched to the piece of plywood on the motor shaft, clamp both at the same time to pull the spring closed and replace snap ring. Again two sets of hands are almost essential.
10. If the bottom pulley needs to be adjusted, a bearing puller can be used on the outer half of the pulley to compress the spring and make the necessary adjustment to the fixed half of the pulley.
11. When aligning the two halves of the pulleys, make sure the slots on the inner face of the pulleys are lined up perfectly so the pulleys can compress when the Reeves Drive is engaged.
