Lucky you. Now, when you go to install the new belt, please be very careful about putting the hole in the new belt. I was using an ice pick to do that and it slipped and stabbed me in the meaty part of my hand just below the thumb. Talk about feeling dumb. I was just about to stop as I was thinking this was not a smart way to do the hole (Yes, I was holding the dang belt in one hand and the ice pick in the other) when it happened. Thankfully the puncture was not too bad and my tetanus shot was up to date. So, just be careful, please!
