I have never seen inside a Selectric, but I've heard that to change one 
of the belts you have to remove the main shaft, which is a major 
operation. 

I was told that if you do this, slip 2 belts over the shaft and tape one 
to the side of the chassis out of the way. Next time it breaks, work that 
spare one onto the pulleys.
