4. Release the drive shaft from the hydrau-
lic pump and remove the spacer
ring (102) from the coupling.
5. Release the belt tensioner's spring ten-
sion, two springs.
6. Pry off the belt from the rear belt pulley
and guide it through the belt tensioner to
the rear of the belt pulley.
7. Pry off the front belt from the lower belt
pulley and guide it through the belt ten-
sioner to the rear of the belt pulley.
8. Pry off both belts from the crankshaft
belt pulley and guide it through the gap
between the drive shaft and the hydrau-

pulley and then the front belt on the
lower belt pulley.

pulley (92) and guide them through the
belt tensioner to the rear of the belt
