I have a 2005 YAMAHA 660 and I'm having a hard time putting the drive belt back on. Any assistance would be helpful.

 

you have to pull one of the pulleys off to get it back on

 

Go to grizzhopper com and look under clutch maint. It tells you all the steps.

 

WHAT~ ~~~~!! mmm ya... I highly doubt that! Very highly doubt that!

I don't own an 05 Grizz 660. But I know that on all the snowmobiles I have owned and my 07 Grizz 450 that I do not have to remove a pulley to install a drive belt!

Attached is a picture showing instructions (from shop manual) on how to do it on my 07 Grizz 450

 

there made to be changed on the trail.

Here is a Video of one being changed. YouTube - Changeing belt POLARIS ATV

Its a Polaris but same S*** different pile.

Here's steves pic enlarged.

 

Just take a piece of 2 x 4 and cut 2 wedges out of it. Hammer one in the secondary sheeve and the belt will drop, this will give you enough slack to remove the belt. Pull the belt partially off and in that area of the sheeve, hammer the second wedge into the sheeve. Then remove the first wedge so you can get the rest of the belt off. Put the new belt on. You will have to turn the sheeve a little to get the wedge out of the way and then remove the wedge. Wah Lah! belt is now on.

 

Mmm... Yea... NOT! Sorry Cell tech but by the time you are done wacking away on your 2x4 piece of wood, I would have already installed the two bolts into the secondary to seperate the sheaves and had the belt replaced...

No need to hack job the process when you have the correct / simple process listed right here on this site!

 

I understand totally because I have the manual that shows the same diagram. But when the factory installs the secondary sheeve backwards so you don't have access to the bolts, what else are you suppose to do? Hey it worked, and took me 25min.

 

Well then I'd agree with you!

 

well you can doubt that all you want thats how i do it and it is just as e-z. and we are talking about a 4 wheeler not a snowmobile.
