Using a flat tip pry the covers out. Looking behind the face plate there are 4 small screws remove them (some of them are hard to reach). Now grab the cassete module and after disconnecting the couplings (2 of them) to the motherboard (main board) lift the cassette module out. There are two hinges where the cassete modules is attached. Remove the module from the hinges and it is out. Replace belts (about $6 and hard to find) and assemble in reverse order.
Good luck to you.

I forgot about this thread... indeed, I did finally get my Europa sorted out. The fellow from whom I sourced the belts was kind enough to send printouts of pics of how to swing the cassette mechanism up and out to access the belts. I need to try and find a scanner so I can share these excellent printouts!
