Hi Peter
Hopefully I can help. Lay the machine on its side, with the base facing you. Now carefully but firmly press a flat head driver into the gap where the two halves join. You'll need the handle resting away from you. Take care not to slip and stab yourself! Pressing driver lightly into the machine, 'hook' the tip under the bottom edge of the top moulding and lever apart. There are 9 clips in all. Now I hope that you are to the same point as I, and that you are able to assist me in finding a new belt perhaps? If you find a supplier I would appreciate knowing please? I can be mailed at woodywudd@hotmail.co.uk.
Thanks, and luck be with you my friend,
Wudd
