Step By Step Instructions

1
Because the drive belt may be slightly smaller than the drive pulley on most ge top-load washers you can use a belt install tool to make belt replacement easier.
2
To use the tool, first align the two halves of the tool together and roll the “o”-ring into the groove to secure.
3
Zip-tie the new belt to the right side of the pulley with the flat side facing outward.
4
Now stretch the belt install tool and slide it onto the motor shaft until it snaps into place in the first groove.
5
Loop the belt onto the motor shaft and rotate the drive pulley counter- clockwise to help fully align the belt.
6
With the new belt installed, you can now remove the zip-tie and the install tool.
