Having disengaged the lever that operates the clamper, I drive the rubber band through the mesh of the two plastic cog wheels!

Neither the rubber band or the plastic cogs are damaged.

I don't know if this is recommended by B&O 'cos it seems to be omitted from any service manual that I have read. It works for me.

No doubt someone will say it is bad practice but I am all ears for a better way that does not involve several hours of stripdown.

Well got my belt in and after about 30 mins of carefully and scared shaking hands turns out it is very very easy to do your self just gotta remember where everything goes i took some pics of the inside if anyone ever needs help or to see what is involved to changing the belt. Saved me $99 to change my self very happy 😁 more money for parts for other B & O products lol
