Is there a step by step guide for replacing a tape belt? Or is as easy as it looks from when I had all the front case off, with just a few screws?
CPC 464 ( I have two belts in a pack )

Dead easy. Just observe how the old one goes out and replace. Don't worry if the new one is much tighter, the old one will have streached.
Also take the opportunity to give the insides a good clean with isopropyl and swabs.

One tape belt has gone on perfectly and the amstrad is working great, the other as soon as it was put over the spindle it snapped :picard:

Get a refund. Or did you get them the wrong way round?

Done so many Speccy belt replacements lately I forget the layout of the CPC, but if its one big one small then the big one might go on the small, but the small one would snap if placed on the big.
