can't remove drive belt on 2012 S40 (Read 52 times)

rijopiatt Junior Member Offline Posts: 99 Columbia City, Indiana Gender:	can't remove drive belt on 2012 S40 03/12/15 at 09:39:26 I've removed everything according to the manual and have pushed the wheel forward as far as it will go. But, I can't get enough slack for the belt to come off, including forcing it up on the edge of the driven pulley and rotating the tire. What I'm I overlooking? Rick in Indiana

If that doesn't work (and it should) simply remove the rear tire.

The Clymer's manual is a bit off in sequence it seems ( and I've never tried this before-newbie ) Thanks guys. BTW-is it better to balance the wheel with or without the driven pulley attached? I read somewhere to include the pulley, but seems not right to me. Rick
