Default Dyna Drive Belt Replacement - Tutorial Anyone?

Next monday I've got a 1998 Wide Glide coming in for a new drive belt.

Y'all want a step by step photo tutorial or are you happy to use the manuals?

That would be good. I did mine about 5 years ago, I'd like to see how it's supposed to be done!

same here. my buddy seems to think i'm gonna snap my drive belt in no time flat, so I'd like to see how its done (although i'll be honest, if it's putting down enough power to snap the drive belt, i'll probably just convert it to a chain)

Those belts can take 130HP, especially if you use the carbon fibre ones like I will be fitting in the tutorial :-)

I am ready. Just bought the new one which you advised and the gasket set with hardware. Are you changing seals also? Which ones? Any bearings? I would appreciate the guidance.

It will be good. I did this procedure and finished yesterday on my 1996 electra, plus I replaced both sprockets, all seals (including shifter shaft), but many times I watched Youtube and service manual to do it right way, especially - torque values to tight nuts of sprocket, shaft and compensator. But after all it was done and she has new Gates belt and other new good parts. But much better I prefer to watch description from the forum's guru with attached pics.
Now, after belt replacing I have new problem - starter don't engaged - when I press start button, hear relay cilcking, but nothing more. Had no more time yesterday to find good solution, but I suppose it will be something wrong with contacts or relay, because before primary opening everything with starter was o.k. Will continue my researches next weekend.

We are doing the seals all except the sprocket one. No bearings this time.
