How to change vacuum belt...seems too small?

Question

I have a Eureka 5800 series (5841) litespeed vacuum..I took the belt off and its torn..so i bought a new one..."Style U" made by Honeywell and it looks way too small...how am I supposed to stretch is so far back to meet the little pole thing it's supposed to be around? Did I get the wrong size belt? Is there more than one style of U belts for eureka

Answer 1

You may have just gotten the wrong size belt.  Try stretching it though because they look considerably smaller than they really are.  It might be tough to stretch it all the way back there, but that's how they're supposed to fit.
