Replaced the belt and idler on my dryer; installing the new parts wasn't a problem, but reassembly can add time to the fix, an hour or so for me more or less.

This was changed out on two minutes and add about 5 minutes to install the new belt. The whole process took about 90 minutes from start to finish including two new rollers and taking out the drum to get to these parts. Easy Peasy and much quieter!!
