Belt Change

Hey Guys, Quick question. My friend just blew the belt off his 01 heritage. He called and asked me how hard it is to change. I haven't changed a belt. Obviously the rear whell has to come off but do you have to pull the primary apart or does the belt slip on to a gear behind the primary. Thanks.

It's a job that takes some time and patience...And a manual.....

The dealership quoted me 8 hours labor when my belt shredded on the Jersey turnpike last year.

I did the job myself with a friend.....Well worth the money saved.

I just did my belt. It is a pretty big job. About 4 hours. Swing arm should come off along with inner primary.
