Slip the remaining portion of the new drive belt around the stationary idler pulley until the drive belt is tightly in place with no slack. Realign the halves of the deck housing and refasten the retainer springs. Slide the retainer clip back in to hold the retainer springs in place. Realign the mower housing and snap it into place in front of the engine.
