Unfortunately, it's quite a chore to replace that belt on a Hurricane. You must remove the assembly from the playfield which only comes out through the top side. You do need to remove all the ramps and some plastics in the left rear to get it out. If the game hasn't had a full tear-down, detailing and rubber kit in quite a while, I would suggest doing it at this time since you need to take apart much of the playfield anyway.

The last one I replaced I didn't have to take the assy out but did have to take of all the plastics and such from the left hand side, quite a chore.

You can try this first. Go down to your local auto store and get "belt conditioner" spray. clean your belt with alcohol on a q-tip. than spray the belt conditioning spray into a cup, disposable if you got it. Then using a q-tip again wipe your belt down with the spray. Make sure to get the whole belt. let dry completely before turning on.

Hurricane was my first game and that was my first issue. I did that and it never gave me a problem for the year and a half I owned it again.

Another temporary solution if you are waiting for a new belt...remove the top set screw entirely and just utilize the bottom screw to obtain more tension on the belt.

PiNDoCToR Are there any instructions out there on what to remove to get to the Ferris wheel assembly? I need to replace my Ferris wheel motor, and I’m trying to figure out how much I will need to remove to access both screws of the motor. Thanks for any help.
