This is scary, even for a tinkerer like me... but a great article, including the many detailed photos.
Alas, it gets better! At the very end of the article, the author makes a PDF version of it available for download (just click on the words CLICCARE QUI and away you go).
I want to add, though, that it IS possible to put on a new shutter wheel belt without removing the assembly at all... I just did this a couple weeks ago with great success. It takes dexterity and patience, but it is possible (and far less frightening). The trick is to apply superglue to a small spot on the wheel, and glue the belt to that spot... then slowly and carefully rotate the wheel by hand and slide the belt along the surface... eventually the glued-on spot will come around and you can then pull the last remaining bit of belt onto the wheel. After that, lift the belt up every inch or so and apply another small dab of superglue, until you've "fixed" it permanently into place around the entire wheel. DONE.
