A suitable size old style box spanner can be adapted very easily

Re: Hotpoint Belt Fitting Tool

That’s great, thanks Martin. Out of interest, there appears to be a mistake in it. On page 17 ‘Fitting the new belt’ para 2 refers to using the other, cheaper, tool while still giving the part number for the proper one.

Re: Hotpoint Belt Fitting Tool

Yeah, it appears they are referring to the washing machine belt fitting tool in that paragraph. Perhaps lost in translation from Italian to English?

No, it’s Indesit. Probably trying to make life difficult for the independent repairer as usual….:-)

Didn’t think anyone bothered with all those fitting tools. Are they any good. Never had a problem fitting without tbh

I use the long bar on the vented dryers all the time, makes the job so easy. 8)

Oh yes very much so. I bought mine donkeys years ago a lot lot cheaper than they are today but it has been a godsend. A single-handed great piece of hardware.

By the same token this subject has been brought up many times and many have posted their own reasons for NOT having one. The claims of them simply using a big screwdriver or metal bar or some such. The improvisational testimonies abound.
