But the belt issue is still at hand. Having sat so long, I can imagine that it will either need to be replaced or its tension adjusted, which requires removing the wheel.
Symptoms of a warped wheel are difficulty tracking or centering the blade on the wheel. Remove the blade from the upper and lower wheel assemblies. To install the tire on the new wheel: Align the bottom half of the tire with the bottom half of the new wheel and carefully begin stretching the tire into the groove surrounding the wheel.
I bought a Delta 28-190 12″ bandsaw over 20 years ago and it’s time to change the tires. I’m under the impression that most bandsaw wheels are held on with nuts, the top one with a right-hand thread and the bottom with a left-hand thread. This Delta is different. The top wheel is retained with a large flat-head slotted screw and the bottom wheel is held on with a hex-head screw I’ve reefed in both directions with the supplied allen wrench but I can’t budge it.

Why are bandsaw wheels crowned?

How is a band saw blade tracked?
Tracking describes the in-plane “front-to-back” motion of a bandsaw as it runs on the bandmill wheels. Bandsaw tracking stability returns the sawblade to its initial position after any in-plane side-to-side displacement caused by a cutting force.
How are band saw tires measured?
Measuring band saw tires is very simple… simply measure the diameter of one of the saw wheels, and subtract 2″. Done!
Why are the wheels of the bandsaw fitted with rubber tires?
A primary advantage of rubber band saw tires is that they stretch in place for a perfect fit and offer versatility — they work with virtually any type of portable or stationary vertical band saws. Some rubber tires can even be cut to fit the width of a non-standard wheel.

Are urethane bandsaw tires crowned?
It is possible to put a crown on a urethane tire. You just have to be careful, since there’s less room for error, due to the urethane tire being thin. The extra thickness of a rubber tire makes the crowning operation easier. I have a Walker-Turner 16″ bandsaw that I put urethane tires on and crowned.
