I was having trouble getting my belt off (bad arthritis) so I used John’s method to release the tension by loosening the 15mm nut in the middle of the secondary clutch. I removed the belt with this method and then tried to follow John’s instructions when installing new belt and re-tightening the 15mm nut.
My question is that I now notice approximately 1/8"-1/4" of the drive belt is exposed, above the secondary clutch, when the engine is NOT running. Wish I would have paid closer attention to what it looked like before I took mine off. In the video, it kind of looks like the belt is riding fairly flush with the top edge of the secondary clutch(?).
I just want to make sure that my belt won’t come flying off while riding…..especially with hard deceleration (letting off the throttle). Seems like the belt rides kind of high and has potential to fly off?
Anyone ever notice their drive belt riding that "high" on the secondary clutch?
