Help with DeWalt DW733 planer belt?

[Dave Lindstrom]

I broke the planer head drive belt on my DW733 planer. I figured out what part I needed and got a couple drive belts sent to me, but now I'm puzzled as to how to get it on. I don't see any way of getting any slack in the system to install it. Anybody out there know the secrets?

Have you called customer support? They can probably walk you thru the procedure.

Just wondering if anyone has replaced the drive belt on a DW733 - are there any tips to complete this?

On the Delta planers you have to loosen the motor mount screws to do it, probably similar on the Dewalt.
