If you hear grinding or feel resistance, your mandrel bearings (187292) may also need replacement to prevent burning the new belt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear the Debris:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use compressed air or a brush to remove dried grass and pebbles from the pulley grooves.
