I have tried fixing the belt to the drum and motor like a bicycle chain and removing the motor but no luck.

It is difficult as I can only remove the top of the machine.

Anyone done this before as the wife is threatening me now?

this machine has a tight fitting/stretch belt....if you are certain you have the correct replacement/original then its a very tight fit..... hook around the motor first then get it on one edge of the drum pulley then turn slowly..... watch your fingers and make sure THE MACHINE IS ISOLATED FROM THE MAINS ....... good luck with the wife :-)

hi put the motor back on,put the belt on to the motor and up to the top pully then pull the top pully round holding the belt in place as you go (like putting a chain back on a bike)
