To do this, you need to remove the front pulley. Unscrew & slide the the bolt out of the front pulley. The front is made up of 2 halves spindle sheaves. You may need to remove also the front wheels to make room. When installing the new belt, you need to stand up the edger to rest the edger's front on the ground to compress the spring in order to have room to insert the new belt. Start from the engine pulley, wrap the belt onto the 2 idle pulleys. The "V" side needs to be onto the top idle pulley & the 'Flat' side needs to be onto the bottom idle pulley (this is important belt pattern). Then turn the belt 90 degrees counterwise from the bottom idle pulley & wrap the "V" side onto the front pulley. While the belt is onto the front pulley, insert back the bolt into the front pulley to install the front pulley. Put everything back together & that is it. Looks hard but really simple. The user manual is not clear on this. The belt MTD part number is 754-04032B. Hope this helps. Good luck.
