How to replace geared belt on Hoover Savvy U8171

I purchased a replacement geared belt for my wife's vacuum cleaner via an aftermarket vendor. Of course, it came with no instruction and now I can't figure out how to get it around the pulley. I have taken out all the screws I can see, but I can't figure out how to access the pulley. I checked the manual and the only geared belt help it gives is with the powered hand tool. Any ideas guys? Thanks for any help,
- Tom

Tom, This one is tricky. First get the belt on the geared motor pully, and then insert the roller through it. You will have to roll the brush toward the body of the vac to have enough room. Patience is the best on this model.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_b96ba3f038cf317c

How do I install the timing belt on my Hoover Savvy Vacuum? Modle # u8174-900 Where is it located?

http://www.vacshopusa.com/hoover_savvy.htm
This is a parts schematic for your hoover savvy. You have to take off the brush guard on the bottom and also the cover on top (there is a screw under the round hoover logo). You will then see how the belt is attached. Very easy to do. Hope this helps

Need help with my Hoover Savvy U8172-900 -- agitator does not spin when on

You probably jammed the roller brush and the gears on the motor stripped the teeth out of the drive belt.  You have to take the bottom and the top covers off the lower unit to replace the belt.  There is a hidden screw that keeps you from taking off the top, thus creates work for authorized Hoover repair shops.  You'll find that screw under the round red label in the center of the top of the lower section.  Peel it up and there is the screw.
