Just a little step by step guide to renewing your piaggio/gilera 50 oil pump belt, often overlooked piece that plays an important role and should really be renewed every 3yrs or around 10k miles
Right let's get down to it
First start by removing the variator using a locking tool or a 'windy' gun, I prefer the locking tool method myself
once the variator is removed just pull the starter bendix and remove it
Next remove the two screws holding the oil pump(http://www.motoparts-superstore.com/scooter-parts/scooter-engine-parts/oil-pump.html) on, take note how the slot on the rear of the pump sits on the drive
no need to remove the pipes or cable, just cable tie or tape it to one side out of the way
Next undo the screw and remove the inner metal plate
Next remove the thick spacer washer and the two cogs with the belt
