I'm about the change out the cracked deck of my Sole F80 treadmill - Sole sent me a replacement deck for free (lifetime deck warrantee on their units, nice!) and a gel lubricant, but there are zero written instructions from Sole on how to actually replace the deck, step by step.
I did watch pretty much every Youtube video I could find on treadmill deck replacement, and I think I've got a good sense of what I generally have to do.
The thing is that every video does a "belt-deck" combo replacement, whereas my belt is totally fine and I just need to replace the deck. I was hoping not to even have to mess with removing the rollers on my unit (which you have to do replace the belt) and just loosen the treadmill belt enough to unscrew the deck and then slide it out without removing the belt or rollers.
If anyone has done this, and could clarify whether this is possible, would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
(The guy who called me from Sole to get my deck replacement going did say I could call him for any installation questions, but I figured I'd ask here first given that it's the wknd.)
Thx
