Change the belt !
It�s possible to take�m apart and inside there is a spring, kinda like in
the pulley on a chainsaw that�s a real pain to get in place if it jumps out
( and chances are high that it will !!!) and you also need to get all the
parts in the right order to lock.

Play it safe and  get a new one - it�s not expensive compared to the medical
costs if you should be involved in a crash and it fails
