Thanks,
I didn't do that but wished I had as was hard work getting the old one off and the new one off!

For what it’s worth I made a flywheel holding tool out of a redundant piece of 18mm mdf by cutting the shape out with a jig saw and fitting 8mm (I think) bolts for the pins.
It’s done 10 belt changes so far with no problems.
Nothing wrong with a bodge if it works!
This is the route I took and made my own version which just about did the trick!
Thanks Graham

Thanks agin all.

Took me ages but got there is the end. Took me ages but it was really mucky in there so took some time to have a good clean up. Was hard work getting the old belt off and new one on as I should have split the old one as some folks mentioned but hey ho next time will be easier!

All the best,
Graham

First time in a long time is often like that - be easier next time.
