Ok I reviewed the archieves about replacing the belts and did learn some points but still wondering if:

do I have to take off the fan to remove and replace the belts? It appears this is not necessary from what I can see.

Appreciate hearing back from someone who has done this and what might be some key things to keep in mind.
