Thank you so very much for the instructions on how to replace drive belt, took me all day but I got there in the end,but only with this tutorial. Many many thanks Debra x
Very good and well made video. I just bought an old 2011 model x320 for a few hundred dollars and have to do everything here and then some. Probably will watch this again and again. Thank you!
@@dDayye No doubt. Another inch would have made a big difference. But if you watched the whole video, if I hadn’t removed the clutch I wouldn’t have found the bad bearing either.
This is an extremely well produced video, and has a lot of helpful details. I wonder why you did not just cut the old belt off, and I wonder why you didn't put it back on in exactly the reverse order of the way you did, and I wonder why you didn't put those two new pulleys on after that instead of before. I can't be sure, but I believe it would have made putting the belt back on much easier. That being said, you never would have known about the bad bearing, so there's that...
If I had cut the old belt off, I never would have been able to measure the new one against it to be sure I had the right length. If I couldn't get the new one on, I would have wondered if I'd ordered the right one. If I had started the new belt replacement by looping it over the clutch end first, there never would have been enough slack to loop it over the fan blades at the rear and I can't remove the fan without dropping down the transmission. Thanks for viewing and the compliments on the video.

Excellent. I hope this video helps.
Excellent narration of this procedure !!
@@143Chippy143 Thank you
My X320 drive belt is M151277, it's an inch longer than the belt you have listed as M144044, maybe that's why it was so hard to install.

Good video
Thanks
