Hi all, the drive belt on my GTH52XLS snapped, so I was able to just pull it out as a single line. I'm trying to put the new one in, but the belt won't fit between the fan pulley bolt and the fuel tank. The manual just says to slip it over and around, and all the videos I've found show different models where there seems to be plenty of space above the fan. I think the belt might be able to be forced past if it's lying flat (belt thickness seems slightly less than width), but I can't get the belt flat due to its stiffness and the bar above the cross member in the way. Anyone know the best solution? Is it necessary to take the rear end apart to lift the tank? or alternatively lower the transmission?
