I've never had such difficulty in years of replacing belts as Im having with my windtunnel now. I watched your video to confirm I was doing it right. I appreciate this video! But mine is still challenging. No problem fitting the brush back in without the band, but I can't put it back once the band is on. Tried for hours last night. As if the band is 1/8" too small. But thank you for confirming that this IS the right way. Maybe I was sent the wrong size band!
My brother played sports, I stayed home and worked on everything with my dad. He's been gone almost 20 years now and I always feel him with me anytime I'm working on things.
Hoover is awesome,because they have a sticker on the bottom with the part numbers for the belt, the bag, and the filter! Done in 10 min with the right part!
awesome lil helper there . my problem now is strength to stretch my belt and rolling brush back into grooves. My odd belt was leftover from last 2 belt order I used one and was able to stretch on my own. I am nearly 9 years older since that repair and seems and I am just not as strong... oh well maybe need to replace belt with more pliable one. Amazon here I come.
What a great helper! I've been watching videos for belt replacement on a Hoover even though I already checked the belt on mine. I kept smelling burning rubber. I just realized there was a small, what seems like foam rubber ring, just about an inch in diameter, hanging loose on that metal drive, between the belt and the vacuum. It has a couple places where it looks like it must have been caught against the drive, so that's probably what I was smelling. I can't find where it came off, and I'm not finding it as a replacement part on Hoover's website. Anyone have any ideas? My vacuum is a Hoover Windtunnel 2 Whole House Rewind, model UH71250.
I'm looking for the wind tunnel that has two belts a very thin one and the fat one I don't know where the fat one goes there's only one break and a little belt is already there
