If you own a TC-WR535 which cassette decks won't open anymore, it's probably because the belts of the motor are in bad shape. I'm now gonna show you how to replace them.

Tools You Will Need

These are the tools you will need:
a container for the screws so you don't lose them
screwdrivers
replacement belts (2 for each deck, so a whole replacement set contains 4 belts, 2 small ones and 2 larger ones)

Unscrew Part 1
