Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.

The idler arm had its guides broken off so that the belt would continually jump off of the idler wheel.

Parts Used:

1. Took out the cotter pins that hold the connector arm for the tensioner to the idler arm.
2. Loosened the bolt holding the idler wheel.
3. Took out the bolt that held the Idler arm assembly. Two wrenches...one above the deck, one below.
4. Removed the broken assembly and discarded.
5. Replaced the idler arm with a new one that had the \"belt guides\" intact.
6. Releasing the tensioner (above the deck) allowed the installation of the belt with very little trouble.
7. Replaced the bolts, the tensioner arm connector, and the cotter pin holding the connector.
8. Tightened the bolts and it worked like a charm.
