What's your model number off the back base? For most the bucket has to come off. For SZAK models it does and newer models are probably the same. The tensioner arm is right against the auger pulley so the belt can't be pulled off. Although a pain to remove because of side bucket screw placement the job is fairly easy. The belt pulley is a split pulley with screw so that makes it pretty easy. The drive belt can be slipped in with the bucket on. The cemetary caretakers have an HS828 track to clear steep roads through the place plow trucks cant get. Yesterday the guy got stuck at the bottom of one of the very steep hills and came over for help. Turned out to be his drive belt went so I replaced both today.

Just did my son's this morning. He has my old '97 HS928. Yes you have to remove the bucket and as noted a couple of bolts are not easy to get to. Ratcheting 12mm box end does the trick with these nicely. Other than that it is a piece of cake. You'll want it up so your not on your knees and you'll want to be able to tip it back and support it for easy access to a few bolts. But it is typical Honda simplicity. (old door on sawhorses worked for me) Suggest you not leave it until one of the belts breaks. Getting new belts from honda was a serious major pain. i ended up calling all over British Columbia because even the "critical back order" through Honda Powerhouse was not going to arrive any time soon. I am about to come into possession of an extra set of belts. Given that my HS928 is brand new and my sons went 11 Revelstoke BC snow years (that's like 100 of anyone else's snow years) before needing belts - and your reading this 'cause you need some. drop me a line.
