Panasonic RQ-SX75 Motor Pulley

Motor

The Panasonic RQ-SX75 motor pulley is between the two metal discs of the motor that are the magnets. Consequently, when the belt requires replacing, one has to dismantle the motor. It is actually not as difficult as I first thought it would be and turned out to be a straightforward job.

Mounting

To remove the motor from its mounting, one has to undo three screws.

As you can see, one then simply installs the drive belt between the discs.
