I have an older Electric dryer I think a 2003 Maytag so I had to takeoff the top and back cover then I pulled the pulley aside to get the belt off. Then I removed the pulley by taking off one screw, just make sure you look at the belt on how it goes on so you remember to put it back the same way. But in order to get the belt off the machine, I had to disconnect some wires and disconnect the electric burner. The only problem I had was the clip that goes to the hose, I ended up removing it because I could not get it to stay on. Other than that, I was very happy with the product that came in the next day as promised, and they worked very well on my dryer so I now have a dryer. Thank you!
