Takes about 10 minutes ( with the special tool that is) 🙂

Mine was kindly made for me by Hotdog, a trade member., much better than the earlier special tool.

No, I seem to remember Goatboy posting a picture of the later special tool, a good while back, cannot just remember where. I think Hotpoint use this tool as well as the one you mention, it is much , much better than that.
It is a long bar with two small extensions to slot under the belt, and the end is shaped to slot into the holes in the base. It really is brilliant for fitting belts to all the VTD derivatives, no use for the CTD though.

The Merloni part number for their tool is 5600178

Is this the post you mean Jim:

Thats the one, only works for dryers with removable side panels but it is so easy with that tool. 5600178 is the earlier one you need that for the TDL range that had does not have removable sides.

With this tool, it is top off, left hand panel ( from rear off ) remove enough screws to allow front panel to be prised forward, fit belt, refit front panel screws,insert tool inside belt, lever over pulley, refit panel and top, an absolute doddle of a job. 8)

Hotdog is a forum trade member, perhaps we should approach him and ask him to make us a job lot, bound to be cheaper the Indesit.

put part no. 5600178 into connect and the picture it shows looks exactly like the old belt fitting tool to me.

That’s because it is the standard tool 😉

Nuffin wrong with a deep socket and extension bar – works for me.

Re: indesit td belt

absolute genius Chris!!! Got a 1/4 extension bar with 13mm deep socket over the motor shaft. Job done. I’ve been boiling the belt for an hour to stretch it, then cutting my hands up, then swearing a bit and finally thought someones been through this before and checked here. 5 year old post saved me from smashing the thing up.
