I need to replace the belt on a lavatherm 57700. I've read conflicting advice about whether to remove the front of the machine or the rear to get the belt round the drum.

Can anyone advise for this model?
Does anyone have a service manual? I've tried searching on here but links have expired.

Thanks.

Anyone?
I've tried loosening the back and have managed to get the new belt round the drum. However I can't see any way to get it round the motor. I've taken the fan blade off the back but am now stuck. There's a big plastic cover but it appears to be part of the whole base of the machine.
