I have a 28" Snapper riding mower, and I am attempting to replace the blade drive belt. It appeared straightforward at first, but how do I get the belt around the drive wheel? Do I have to remove the drive wheel entirely? Or is there another way?

Thanks.

There is another way, LOCK the clutch / brake pedal down, put the transaxle in "R" and depress the clutch. Then put the trans. Into high gear and engage the clutch then remove from that side.
