Loosening the belt
Using the 2.5mm Allen key, release the M3x22 screw on both sides of the printer, both where the motor is replaced and the opposite side.
Attempt significantly loosening the belts, by the same amount on either side. If not, it will be possible to re-align the belts later on.
Loosening this screw loosens the belt and its tensioner with the idler pulley.
There is no need to completely loosen or remove the M3x22 screw, as long as the belt is significantly loose.
