Any tips for replacing the main drive belt on a LT40?
Trying to get the alternator to swing so I can get that belt off.

I have to loosen the brake to allow the engine to pivot far enough to remove the belt.

I didn't have to move the alternator, like MM we loosened the brake and squeezed it out there.

Got it changed today. Going to order a belt tension gauge.
One good tip was to leave it in the sun to let it relax from folding to get it in the shipping box.
Thanks for the help, Bob
