Replacing Belts & Brake Shoes - Grizzly G0796 Owner's Manual

Replacing Belts &
Brake Shoes
Replacing a broken belt or the spindle brake
shoes requires removing the motor and part of the
headstock. These components are very heavy,
and you will need the assistance of a helper to
remove them.
Since the procedure for replacing the spindle
brake shoes involves removing many of these
same components as in a belt replacement, it is a
good idea to check the brake shoes whenever you
replace a belt, and replace the shoes if necessary.
