In addition to removing the bottom plate by removing the two screws, you have to snap the cover off the top of the vacuum (just on the side with the metal belt drive). Loop the belt over the belt drive from the top, push it through to the underside, place it over the roller and stretch the roller into place. Replace the bottom plate and screws

I was looking for the same answer today...and found this online at a different cite...maybe it will work.

1) disconnect the cord from the electrical outlet.
2) remove the four screws at the corners of the brush opening on the bottom plate.
3) replace with new belt
4) slide belt over motor shaft, then slide belt over large pulley while rolling pulley towards front of vacuum.
replace the cover and screws.
