I am looking for a video or “how to” info on how to replace/remove the belt “easily” when you have a closed face secondary like the one on my 2007 Venture.

I have watched videos with a open secondary and working the helix in that case is a piece of cake this… well not so much lll

on that style secondary i rotate the inner face of the clutch and push it to inside while forcing belt down into clutch to hold it open for easier removal.

Oh man I am trying but belt is covering the majority of the face which makes it a PITA. The fact that my fingers/hands are very weak certainly doesn't help at all.
Maybe its hanging up more than I thought making it that much harder?
 
i grab it by the web on the back side to rotate it with the park brake applied.

Thanks for your feedback. Made me go for an idea I had before and hadn’t tried and it worked! So that someone else can benefit here is what I did.
Accessed from backside of secondary with right angle needle nose pliers and used then to rotate the back sheeve while I pulled on the belt.

You are a genius man. I always feel like I must be some sort of poodle boy when ever I do that job. Thanks for posting back and sharing.

Glad to help. That’s what is great about places like this. People helping people.
I have a lot of experience just none in this field so I’ll learn lots here but I am sure I can help as well.
