Crossed 500 dryer belt replacements this week, which got me thinking about the 'right' way
Some techs swear by pulling the whole drum every time for a clean install, but I've found a shortcut that saves 15 minutes and hasn't failed me yet. Which side are you on, and what's your go-to method for a Whirlpool direct drive?

500 belts without pulling the drum? That's wild. You must have the patience of a saint to thread it through the pulley gap. I tried that once on a Maytag and shredded the new belt on the motor shaft. Now I just yank the drum, clean the spider arm while I'm in there.

What's the trick to not shredding the belt on the motor shaft? I've always wondered if there's a specific angle or a tool that makes it easier to slip it through.
