TIS VID IS 10 yrs old, but ever so timely. Thanks so much. I have replaced 2 or 3 belts on my Hoover. Watching this saved me more money than a little bit. Easy, a 10 year old could do it. I watch ed vid before I even bought the new belt.
THANK YOU for giving a detailed explanation! People can always fast-forward to the point where they're having problems. I just needed to know how to replace the belt, but in the past, I might have needed much more detail. KEY POINT: Never apply excessive force as vacuums are designed to snap together when things are in the right place. Great help! Thanks!
TY! I am so glad to have fixed it MYSELF! My husband told me I had bought the WRONG belt,that it was way too short and he could not see how it would EVER stretch enough to fit. Your excellent video gave me permission to try and succeed! :-)
Thanks for this video. Thank you to youtube lol. Saved me a bunch of money by looking to see what kind of drive pully there was and there was none, just like my vacuum. Who knew. I just about threw this vacuum away but this video saved me.
Thanks a bunch! I thought I bought the wrong belt since it was so tight and I didn't want to break something, but when I saw your video I could tell that you really had to stretch it to get it on.
Here’s a tip. Flip the vacuum over. Lay it flat on it’s front. It’s a lot easier to pull the brush down into it’s housing rather than up into its housing. Hope this helps
I was thinking the same thing ... I started watching this video because I thought I'd bought the wrong belt: too small! But it had the same number as the broken one. Except that one belt had -1JJ tagged on the end of the part number (that was molded into the belt), and the other had something like -ee. I still don't know if that's significant, but think it isn't.
thank you for your time doing this for the rest of us.. this is the only one all over the internet. am wondering how many times since have you replaced the belt or have you replaced your supreme vacuum altogether? if so what did you buy?
May I ask what model do you have there? Hoover? Also, are all the Hoover Bagged upright the same? I plan on getting one...I don't know which to choose...the UH30300 or the UH6485900...
+Marty Backe So yours is the Anniversary Wind Tunnel Self-Propelled and Bagged? UH6485900? The same one in your video? Kind of confused to your answer.. And if so, does it have a lot of powerful? One other thing...is the one in your video purple because the UH6485900 that I saw are blue. lol
+Nancy Marrone No. If you Google the part number (U5468900) you will find the vacuum that we have: hoover.com/products/details/u5468900/windtunnel-supreme-bagged-upright/
Oh I see now, Marty Backe...the one you have is a different model number!! I can see that the model # is different now...Ugh!! Omg I'm such a wreck because my Hoover of 14 years kicked the bucket and now I have to get another one... Thanks so much for getting back...now I'm not confused lol
I purchased non-brand name belt for my TriStar compact. There are no numbers or anything else printed to indicate whether the shiny or the tacky side goes against the drive pulley! Can anyone tell me which side goes against the drive pulley?
+Dmarie Elliot (DeeDee) Sorry, I only use manufacturer parts so I can't offer any definitive help. I do know that the manufacturers belt did not have a tacky side. But if forced to use your belt I would put the tacky side against the drive pulley because the belt works only because there's a lot of friction (due to very tight belt) which keeps it from slipping. So tackiness would probably help. Good luck.
P.S. I had an old Hoover and I didn't know about this belt thing, so I just put it in the trash yesterday. Now I'm thinking it only needed a new belt. Ugh!!
Thank you! I wouldn't have been able to replace the belt without this video!!!

Thanks for that nice comment.

What do husbands know?
Relevant part for changing the belt 6:45 to 8:30
Thanks for the demonstration
Thank you for showing that you really have to stretch the belt. I thought I was doing something wrong until I watched your video.
Thanks for this video. Thank you to youtube lol. Saved me a bunch of money by looking to see what kind of drive pully there was and there was none, just like my vacuum. Who knew. I just about threw this vacuum away but this video saved me.
Thank you so much, I was just able to change my father's Hoover belt with only a minor struggle and I'm elated, so is he!!
It's a great feeling to fix something so simply and save money too :-)
Thanks a bunch! I thought I bought the wrong belt since it was so tight and I didn't want to break something, but when I saw your video I could tell that you really had to stretch it to get it on.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad that my video helped a little :-)
So glad you showed how hard it is to stretch the belt. I thought it was just me. Thanks. Ignore ungrateful rude comments.

ty.
4.27 is where he actually shows you how to change the belt
Not all hero's where capes
Wow thanks
Thanks for the video. It's one of those tasks when you wish you had four hands.
Thank you for such clear instructions!
Thanks. I was struggling with the muscling the belt on and as U demonstrated having the same issue I realized that is normal.
Thank you!!!!!!!! I did it and the vacuum (Hoover Elite about 15 years old) works great!
Using the power of fulcrum force, I recommend inserting the roller at the belt end in first to make it easier for yourself. Less force will be needed

Wonderful video. Well done. I will try on my Hoover vacuum.
Thanks
Jun Dai Thank you. Glad it was helpful to you.
When the temperature is cold, you need to put the belt into hot water (no boiling!) for few seconds this help the fixing
Terrific video. I laughed because it seemed like I was doing this.
I'm wondering if heating the belt a bit before installing might make it easier? I'll try with mine ...
Thank you so much! I DID it! It was a muscley job, but very satisfying! Your video is great!
Karen Simons I appreciate your kind words. Congrats on the fix!
Great video and thanks for sharing !!!
GOD Bless

It's been three years since I replaced the belt and the vacuum is still working fine.
thanks
Excellent, that worked. Thanks A Lot!!!

+Nancy Marrone U5468900. Sorry, I only have experience with the one we own, so I can't speak to the similarities between the various models.

?..it is a flat belt! Never assume!

Ha, ha, ha...that's how my sister got her Hoover. Don't want to depress you, but her "dump" find has been running for 10 years now.
Video informative but too much narration for such a simple task. But thank you for the demo
Thank you so much
Much appreciated sir
thank you
Hi Jennifer, have you considered taking a course in spelling? I believe it would be a wise investment and enrich your life.
