The small belt broke earlier this week. I found a helpful YouTube video showing the steps to dismantle the Polaris to change the belt. Astonishingly over 90% of the unit needs to be taken apart. As suggested I ordered a set of ball bearings in case they look worn.
My questions:
1. Any recommendations from your experience to make this operation go smoothly other than watching the YouTube slowly and multiple times?
2. How will I know if the bearings need to be changed? I can post a picture once I get to that point if that helps.
The large belt is still propelling the robot but slowly. I will change that belt as well while I'm in there.
The parts will arrive this week and I hope to start this weekend.
Thanks!
