[C320-list] Need drive belt

Wed Apr 30 14:18:37 PDT 2008

Joe,

Sounds like you had other issues going on if the ball bearings were rolling around your cockpit.

Replacing the belt is rather easy and should only take about a half hour, less if you drop the sails.  J

Take the wheel nut off, unplug the wire from the motor, and pull off the wheel.

Carefully pry the 2 halves of the belt enclosure apart with a screw driver.

You will see the belt and is captive with a plate covering the drive pulley.  Remove the screws and remove the plate, take off old belt.  Clean any rubber dust.  Install new belt and reverse the operations to reassemble.

See your owner’s manual for adjusting the belt tension.

Bill
