If you mean the belts, you must first remove the front by getting the variator farthest forward and releasing the guide covers (usually a rotating little clip at the shaft and a release that lets the whole bracket pivot. Then the variator must be allowed to move rearward (the speed control lever) and the sheave (pulley) on the transaxle must have the four bolts removed (1/4" bolts, 7/16" wrench) to get clearance to get the belt off (will not clear the frame with out taking the sheave loose.) It can then be removed from the variator. Be sure to check the center moveable piece of the variator for free side-to-side movement. Wise to lube it sparingly with 30Wt and wipe excess.

Assembly is done in the reverse order. belts are always replaced as a set. Be sure to check variator when both belts are off (only time to do it.)

good luck!
