I am not sure if this is right but it seemed to work for me. I can here looking for the same answer and when I didn't find it I tryed what looked right.
First find a replacement belt. This is the hard part. You can buy them from Eureka online but have to pay shipping. I found one at Wal-Mart, but I think someone miss ordered and meant to get type RD.
Unplug the Vacuum (duh). Unscrew the three phillips screws that hold the black guard in place. Remove the old belt and beater bar. There is a silver wheel close to the beater bar. My question was does the belt have to go around it and if so how. The answer is it does not (I think).
At the back of the unit is a small steel shaft. The belt must go around this and around the beater bar. With the belt around both replace the beater bar. Replace the black guard, first snaping it in place, then putting in the screws.
Happy cleaning.
