My son's Helix finally destroyed the belt. I have the side cover off, and I already destroyed the front driver pulley trying to remove the 17mm nut that holds it on. I have no impact gun. Is there another way to remove this nut?

Also...while I am in there, what upgrades should I do? Do I need to mess with the rear driven unit? I just want this thing to last a while, and some performance increases are welcomed. I do not plan to drag race or hill climb, just want to make it more durable for my son to ride around the yard with.

I do want to replace the rollers. Dr Pulley? What weight?
Performance CDI - Which one and where to buy?

GoKartsRus has the belt for $54. Is there a better belt option? I don't want to have to replace it once a year.

Thanks!
