Yeah. that's a possibility, but it looks like you would still need to take apart a lot of stuff to actually replace the belt assembly, don't you think?

By the way, I can't believe how many people have this issue. I've never seen any threads about it.
I did both sides e-man. Be prepared to wipe off the excess. Use a towel, not paper towel.

I used superglue so had to blow on it to speed up.

Yeah, no one talked about this, just assumed everyone glued it back together

That will work, but only if all three clips are still intact. If one has broken off (particularly the one on the side by itself), the piece will not stay in place.

I went out over lunch and bought some superglue. I applied it to the base itself (as opposed to the plastic piece). It set in about a minute. If it pops out again, I'll just reglue it.
