    Great video. I have a couple of additional suggestions and tips. Mine is a 520x from around 2003. I would recommend taking both rear end caps off, unscrew tensioner bolts for rear roller and just remove that roller completely. It makes maneuvering that belt off and on a lot easier. I actually swapped my belt to correct slippage, but that ended up not being the issue. I ended up having to replace the front roller as the bearings were bad which I should have known just by how noisy the unit had become over the years. Tip on roller replacements. It is much cheaper to just replace the roller bearings vs buying entire roller assembly and there are plenty of videos out there on how to do that. In my case the front roller has non-serviceable bearings, meaning you can't replace them. At the ends of the roller I had plastic caps that are part of the mechanism that holds the bearings in place. No way to remove without destroying, so save yourself some time and just buy the new roller if you have the plastic caps. Tip on that is to go to searspartsdirect to order as it was only about $60 there and the other parts places are charging 120-150. Good news here is that the replacement roller I got does not have the plastic end caps so if they ever go bad in the lifetime that I own this I will be able to just replace the bearings. Hope this helps others. thx.
  • My belt tore at the same exact place, it was a small tear that I cut but then ended up getting snagged where your belt did and needed replaced. Thx for the video.
  • Great tip about how to get both tension setting screw/bolts even!!! Additionally, here's one of my tips - use a piece of styrofoam to insert all the screws/fasteners in, maybe use a Sharp'e marker to label locations where they came from on the styrofoam...sometimes just a sketch of the item (TREADMILL) and poke the srews on the locations on the sketch - then you won't lose the screws, and know exactly where they go. But remember, left over parts means you improved it!

    Thanks I’ve got the 875E and the screws for the plastic sides were hidden under the adjustable cushion strips! Everything else pretty much the same, ,,again thanks!
