Marantz 5030B Help

I am looking at fixing my Marantz 5030B cassette deck and need some help. I looked under the cover and seen that the capstan belt is very loose on the pulleys and does not even move the capstan even though the motor is turning. It looks like I need to disassemble the "gearbox" to replace the belt. I checked the SM I downloaded from VintageCassette.com and it does not discuss belt replacement at all. Can anyone give me advice on how to proceed?

I managed to replace 2 out of 3 belts and I still had wow and flutter and dropouts, but it turned out that all the tapes I had on hand were bad. I just found a new in the wrapper Phantom of the Opera and it ROCKS! Tape deck works great!:music:
