I just did this. If you go to the Toro site and look up the maintenance manual it is not as hard as it seems. Once you have the cover off on the top it is just a matter of disengaging the drive cable and that allows the transmission to fall forward, allowing you access to the 3 screws covering the pulley. No need to take the rear axle off.

I have done the same replacement a couple times. Those torx screws on the guard are a pain in the ass with the transmission in place. I didn't remove the transmission for the belt replacement although I have replaced the transmission too lol.

Hey, Doc! What's worse than doing a job you've never done before? Doing a job you've never done before with Tom Doby chattering in your ear! HAHAHA!! Just kidding! Love ya, Tom! Unfortunately, things aren't engineered to be consumer friendly. They are engineered to keep service shops in business. The good thing about this is, you'll know what to do if it ever craps out. You've got a wealth of knowledge in Tom and he's gracious enough to share that wealth. Hey, even I called him! Well, you got it done! Good video, Brother! Good content and info. Hi, Sarah!

You can use a drill extension from the top of the mower to reach the 3 Robertson bits on the pulley cover. Unhook the pulley from the spring and tilt it towards the front of the mower and it gives perfect clearance to remove them without having to remove the entire axle.

I used a 1/4” socket on a 1/4” drive ratchet and a #2 square bit fit into the socket. I had to use a small piece of paper as a make shift gasket, so the speak, to keep the bit tight in the socket. I then rotated the pulley down and was able to get in there to remove that pesky, hard to reach screw. Suffice it to say, it went back together with one less screw. 😅
