===== Replacing the spindle belt =====

\\
**__Important notes:__ **

   - Since the belt between the spindle motor and the spindle is a timing belt, it is not necessary to tension the belt.The teeth on the belt will prevent slipping and hence loss of rpms.
  - The advantage of a non tensioned belt is also that the spindle motor bearings are not being put under lateral pressure.
