    The supplied bolt/spring does it if you carefully locate it against the back of the spring tensioner, then rotate the drum backwards a little, but it takes longer and seems fiddly to me. (When you press it in and compress the spring, the bolt does nothing if it just locks against one of the spokes, (on mine at least), it has to be pressed down so it catches the spring mechanism.)
    Clear as mud, hey?
    .......as described by GlenRob..........and who was initially told by Hermit when he was asked the same question. This is the man who really knows the answers.....I was only repeating what I was told.

    I was only repeating the manual.
    Gotta admit, though, they don't really explain it well. As I told you, I was scratching my head for a while when I first got my WDS.

    Of course, this is all always being done with the power plug pulled out, of course.
    Don't want groping hands accidentally flipping that switch.

    Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. I was so frustrated trying to get the paper to hold in the clamp that i dismantled the machine so i could try and see how it was supposed to work! Then i found this thread which made it all clear. My contribution to the process is rather then try and get the curly end of the belt into the clamp i used a strip of flexible plastic to push it down through the clamp.
