    • Carefully replace with the new belt by wrapping it around the larger gear first, followed by the smaller gear.

In case anyone is interested, I used a 11/16” OD x 9/16” I.D. x 1/16” wall, for this exact drive (was a tight fit) and seems to work perfect.

I was so tired of replacing rubber bands every few months!

And yes this is an “O-ring”  it should be less than a buck five eighty at your local big box hardware store.
