belt for old bt3000

[jorgen]

Is the belt available for the old BT3000? The old belt is 10 1/2" long x 1/4" wide.

THE BELTS FOR THE OLD BT3000 SHOULD STILL BE AVAILABLE, CAREFUL THEY ARE EXPENSIVE ($20) EACH AND REQUIRE 2 USE CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING.

I am trying to replace the drive belts on my old Ryobi BT3000. I have purchased the replacement parts - 2 belts purchased together. The new parts themselves have the part numbers O20 424010003 and O16 424010003. Are these the correct part numbers?

Also, I am having trouble separating the guide holder from the motor bracket. Having removed the 4 screws and 4 setscrews from the guide holder, and the two screws on each side of the bearing, it seems the holder should come free of the bracket.

What else do I need to do to disassemble the arbor from the motor bracket so I can fit the belt around the end of the arbor?
