Just ordered 2. Now how do I remove the motor and disassemble without stripping or breaking off the nuts. On the right side diamond mirror I see there’s a broken nut. Found it when I was cleaning the bar. Do I use penatrating spray so this doesn’t happen. And thank you for your help.

I used a 1/4" nut driver to take them out, it looks like the one might be either snapped off or just not in the one side. There's 3 screws holding the motor onto the frame use the same nut driver to take them out to. Carefull to loosen up the tensioner wheel that the belt goes around.

More than likely they snapped off the screw putting it in with a power driver, you might have to drill it out, good luck. If your lucky you might be able to put a vice grip on what's left of the screw and back it out.

It was broken off and I’m sure they did the same for the rest of the screws, a few are stripped from either torquing or wrong size philips. And what about the tension wheel.

The tensioner wheel has a little bit of adjustment to it there's a screw that holds the bracket in place for the wheel. make sure that wheel turns easily a small amount of 3 in 1 oil works on the shaft or I use garage door lubricant. The 3rd picture at the end of the red pen is the tensioner screw.

A left hand drill bit might be able to back that screw out if you can get the bit seated into the screw right. Or even a screw out bit.

Thank you. I have not heard that before. IIRC some older threads talk of the near extinction of the supply of belts for the bar.
