Well, the electric clutch absolutely has to come off. There is no spare room to work. The belt is always under tension and neutral is achieved in the transaxle, not by detensioning the belt. Your serial number on the machine which belt you need, there are two, one a V-belt and one a double V-belt. Next you have to remove the spring on one end from the tensioner. The belt will route by the diagram I link to below. It may take a six to eight foot length of rope doubled and a second pair of hands to disconnect or reconnect the spring to pu it under tension. everything else then goes back in the order it came off.
