Another newbie question: How do I change the secondary drive v-belt on an H-pattern Hercus 9? Do I need to use a non-continuous A35-equivalent? Seems like both upper and lower shaft have no way, aprart from complete teardown to slip a v-belt on. Or am I missing something obvious?

As a BTW, the new motor has arrived and I installed it this morning. The machine lives! Hooray! Not to provide a proper start/stop box and I'll be happy. Maybe even install a tacho...
