gets used every day; I might have changed the belt & idler once, but I don't remember. Never touched the pump. However, I've changed the motor twice, and brake pads once.
I have no issues with the difficulty of changing this belt. Not at all, compared to all those years changing belts on old Whirlpools, laying on someone's damp, cold cellar floor, removing those spacers, and backing off the levers the right amount to make room for the belt. That is, of course, if I was able to loosen the rusty bolt tensioning the belt.
