Yeah, you have to really loosen that booger up. Almost like it will fall out.

Thanks, I got them at the Home depot, and replaced the belt today. It was difficult to put the belts on, but once I untighten the screw further, it went very loose and was ok to put them on. As you said on the video, it has very limited space. Thanks again for the info!

Thanks and thanks for watching! You can get them from Sears, Snap-On, etc… Harbor Freight carries them but I don’t recommend those. They snap at the pin. I’m using Craftsman.

You are the BEST!!!
Thank you so much,
BTW, where can I get those swivel adaptors from?? Do they come with extensions?

Thanks, yeah I have much better lighting in the garage now so it should help a lot. I have some shop lights but they always seem to be too bright. I’ll get it figured out eventually. I usually just make this videos on the fly but I’m trying really hard to actually start planning them.

Hello, been watching a few of your mechanical videos. Great stuff, love the shop and everything. But something that would help a lot would be a droplight around where ur working or a little LED flashlight tapped to your camera, less fiddling that way.
Hope to see move of your videos.

I haven’t replaced that one yet either. Doesn’t appear to need it as of yet.

Thanks man! Very helpful…

I was going to swap out the smaller belt too, but couldn’t figure out how to get it loose? I ended up not messing with it because it looked fine, but will eventually need to do it.

Not sure but I would bet it’s somewhat different. Probably a bit easier on the 2.5
