Hello everyone!
I just picked up a used drill press that had semi torn belts. I was able to lessen the tension on the motor pulley but have no clue how to pull the idler (center) pulley from place or lessen it's tension to put on a new belt on.
All the videos I saw online showed the idler pulley easily pulled up from place and is kept down by gravity. I tried everything to pry/wiggle that pulley up but to no avail and don't to put too much force and break something
Any ideas?
