How To Replace The Belt On Kirby Generation or Sentria Vacuum Cleaner

My mother purchased a Kirby G4 Vacuum Cleaner when I was 10 years old from a door to door salesman. I immediately fell in love with the Kirby from this point forward. In fact, I promised my mother that if she bought the Kirby, I woud vacuum every day of the week! Well that lasted for maybe a month. She would always have problems changing the belt on her G4 when she vacuumed up a pair of my socks under my bed, or a toy that I left out, and she could never seem to get the belt changed properly. Well I took it upon myself to learn how to replace the belt for her, and she would always come to me when the belt broke, asking me how to replace it. Well a few years ago she moved far away from me and could no longer ask me to change her Kirby belt. I figured that I would just go ahead and record a video showing step by step how to replace the belt on a Kirby Generation Vacuum Cleaner, so she could follow step by step the proper way to do it. This is not a difficult repair, but you have to follow an exact set of steps to ensure the belt catches over the pulley. My mother now know how to replace the belt on her Kirby, and hopefully after you watch this video you will also. This repair is identical for all Kirby Generations, including G3, G4, G5, G6, Ultimate G, Diamond Edition, as well as the new Kirby Sentria Model.
