The belts on The Murray go back to 2008 and before so I thought I'd change them since I had new ones on hand. I found the split in the metal ring at the bottom of the horse collar made it very easy to slip the belt past the fan blades. I didn't need to remove the fan like other have written.

But doing it from underneath in the shop is far nicer than doing it on the road sometime. I was thinking if I could turn the metal ring so the split was at the top I could do it from inside if I had a belt failure on the road. Has anyone done this already?... before I go to the trouble of unbolting this thing and finding out I've overlooked something.

Thanks
