I need to replace the belt for the blade brake. I have removed the blade and now get to the flywheel. How do I pull that off?

Or am I going at this the wrong way. Please get to me before I have to take it to the shop.

Thanks
Bernie

What model Toro mower do you have?

Is it the Vac-u-power deck or the Grassmaster deck??

The flywheel is on the top, it's part of the engine, underneath where the blade mounts there should be a spacer, a screen and the brake drum that is also half of the drive belt pulley visible. In the center there is a large nut holding the brake drum and counter weight on. The screen and spacer should come off easily as the blade holds them in place.

The procedure will be a little different depending on which type of mower deck you have, so if you can post your model number that would be a great help.

You can go to Toro.com and download the manual for your mower. Have a good one. Geo
