How do I remove the drivbe belt from my 08 rtx?

[NH_Nytro]

Can someone tell me the easiest way to remove and reinstall the drive belt on my nytro, I always carry a spare but have yet to change it and cannot find any 08 specific procedure.

Push in on the helix while turning the sliding sheave of the secondary clockwise, it helps to grab the fixed sheave and turn counter clockwise. When the clutch opens push the belt down in the clutch. Then you can work it off.
There are plenty of YouTube videos, have a look. Easy once you know how to do it.
