One thing I learned really quick.....When these belts turn to goo, the black stuff is terrible...and so...1. DO NOT WEAR ANY CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO RUIN. The stuff gets everywhere when you are working to get it off. It would be wise to cover the work table and floor around the table with newspaper or something, because once this black goo gets on something, it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to get the black stain off. 2. This may not be a little 20 minute job. I've done a few and it can sometimes take hours. Just about the time you think you have it all, there's more...and in places you don't expect. 3. I can only speak from my experience, but the job may take more than one box of cotton swabs....and plenty of paper towels. 4. A projector repair person advised me to go to an auto parts store and buy a can of "Gumout".....to use to get the stuff cleaned off. It really did a nice job, compared to other remedies I've tried. It's designed, I take it, to go into the gas tank and clean out petroleum residues and gunk that have built up in the engine. And what you have with those gooey belts is a lot of petroleum residue.
Good luck...and don't wear white while doing the job. And don't get the black stuff in your hair.
