I didnt think of it that way, just trying to help. maybe this will clear it up alittle for those who try it. Hold the wire brush lightly with your fingers at the very end (opposite of the wire side) so if it grabs the belt it will pull the brush out of your fingers and not take your hand with it, place the wire side of brush on belt, gently pushing against it. makeing sure your hand is NOT inside of the belt, the head of the brush should be the only part near the belt.

 

Try a Goodyear gatorback it fixed my squeak after spending hundreds of dollars searching for the problem,And numerous belts and component changes.

 

If Billy would have read the first post none of this would have happened! I mean the 6th post!!!!
