changing drive belt on jet jwbs-9 bandsaw

[disco_monkey79]

Hi, as above, can anyone give me any pointers? I can't get the big wheel off in order to fit the new belt. I can't tell if it's just akward, or if I'm doing it wrong.

The manual doesn't cover belt changing.

Thanks!

Is there a circlip on the shaft? If so, remove carefully (they have a habit of flying across the workshop, never to be found) and the wheel should pull off the shaft although it may need a puller to remove it. Other option is to loosen the shaft on the motor side and slide the shaft out. I'm not familiar with your BS so some or all of the above may not apply.

Sorted - after the purchase of a pulley wheel remover. Thanks for your help, I was surprised it was so tough to remobe.

Thanks again
