Guys,
I am pretty handy, and I need to change the belt on my mom's six year old SQ AWN542 washer, and I would like to change the idler pulley as well. Could you all tell me what tools I would need and how easy is it to change the belt?

1. I know to disconnect the drain hose from the pump.
What size socket due I need to take the motor off, and once off, how easy is it to replace the idler pulley?
2. The idler pulley is not making noise, I am assuming that it should be replaced with the belt. If not would that make my job any easier?

Thanks in advance!
Mike

How easy is it to disconnect power supply to the motor?

Never mind.

Spoke with Alliance and they are sending me a new spring free of charge to increase belt tension. I explained the issue and had it resolved 1 2 3! If I could delete the thread I would.
