The belt finally went on my Flymo. In this video I will show how to replace it for under £5 and some of the problems you may encounter doing it yourself.
Good tutorial. Very real life situation. I had 4 rusted screws. Used the Dremel to cut slots in 2 of them, drilled another out with HSS bit, but couldn't touch the forward most screw. It is possible to slip the belt on with the last screw still attached. I tried a screw extractor set, but it wouldn't touch the steel screws. Refitted the motor with a set of brand new screws in case I need to fit a new belt down the line. Pig of a job either way.
Just fixed my mower while following your video , thanks very much 👍

I have accumulated a load of them plastic spanners in my garage over a number of years.
I’d happily send you one free of charge if you want one.
Nice mower Jay..my dad had one in 1987..
Perfect for making hay bales for your Donkey Jay
