Take all the belts off it first. The auger and drive are powered by the motor. The belt that powers the drive wheels will be closes to the motor and the belt that drives the auger will be closes to the auger. The space to attach the new belts will be on the motor side of the bottom pulley closes to the motor. Put the auger belt on the bottom pulley that's closes to the auger first but don't attach it to the top pulley. Next, put the drive belt on the bottom pulley closes to the motor- this belt can be attached to the top pulley closes to the motor. Now, the auger belt can be attached to the top pulley closes to the auger. Both belts have idler pulleys that keep them tight. These pulleys run on the outside of the belt. I use a bar when removing and replacing the belts inside of my fingers to guide the belts off the top pulleys. I make sure that the idle pulleys are the first and last that the belt gets attached to or removed from. These idle pulleys don't have to be removed for the replacement of the belts. I pull the starter rope slowly to help install the new belts. Remove the spark plug first. Accidental start ups can happen. The pulley/belt system can cause severe damage to your fingers- so don't use your fingers when guiding the belt on and off the top pulleys. Replace the belt guard if your snow blower still has one.
