These instructions were fantastic accept for one section. On Step 9 you never mention to first remove the Motor Compartment Panel before removing the airpath grille. The picture just shows the panel already removed. Otherwise, I followed the directions forwards and backwards and I was successful!! I went to the local vacuum repair store to purchase a new belt. They did not have the Shark belt so I purchased the Bissell BIBL, BELT geared 80R4, 47A2 for $3.50 and it worked perfectly!!
