that set up is not like the american-made, hoover 0510 twin tub. so, i have no clue as to how you would replace the belt on a set-up like that one??
i hope someone more familiar with the set-up that your hoover twin tub has, will chime in and give you an idea of how to replace the belts for the spinner and the pump. keeping my fingers crossed for you..... ;o) |

Thanks for the kind karma HippieDoll, but it looks like it's not going to start raining answers my way anytime soon. Not to worry, though - we had a hail storm over here in Brisbane the other day and that's keeping me busy for a while replacing some broken windows... Best Wishes, WishyWashy. |

Hi WishyWashy,
The layout of yours is the same as mine. I am about to do this and really am NOT looking forward to it (in comparison to replacing a pump in a modern F/L this looks like a breeze) but still not fun. I was going to do the method you did use? which was removing the two bolts and having to re-align the spin can? However, I cant for the life of me get that bolt to unscrew below the earth wire. I am worried about deforming the spin buffer seal from the force i'm applying. It just won't budge. I've WD40'd it now for a third time and will try again in 24 hours. Which of those 2 methods did you end up using? Any information would be greatly appreciated. (i'm not trying to hijack your thread) lol. Cheers, Adam. |

Thanks so much for replying! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply i've been having hassles with a parts company supplying my belt.. 1 month later I finally have it.
The way you described was the way I did it. The whole procedure took maybe 20 minutes including adjustments & tensioning. I was fortunate that I had silver markings where the bolts went so It was only minor fiddling I had to do. I replaced the belt with one just a few mm thicker so hopefully it won't wear out as quick. Gee it has some spinning power now whoa! =D The spin up time being about 10-20 seconds to reach what sounds like top speed with no start-up slippage. I cheated it with having to flip it over haha. I attached a pic of the way I did it lol. Thanks for your help! & all everyone else's advice in the comments. Cheers, Adam.
