Removing and refitting rear wheel on belt drive bike?

[This Wreckage]

I have a Gazelle Esprit belt drive bike with hub gears which has a rear puncture. Can someone advise me on how to remove and refit the wheel? I'm aware that it can be quite complicated, but I have no option other than tackling it myself. The photos were taken with the bike upside down.

Interesting. Although it shows how to refit the wheel, it doesn't show how to remove it.

Opposite of fitting !

I don't trust my very basic skills on this. I'll have to pay the dealer to collect it and tutor me in fixing it. Expensive, but what else can I do? I was hoping this would not happen - the bike comes with tougher tyres and I got them to install slime-type tubes, but there's a huge nail stuck in the tyre which no protection would prevent.

I have a bike with a belt. How you tension the belt varies.
There are two nuts close together in your photo. It might be those. Google or YouTube your bike for some idea
Or ask the manufacturer.

Do you know how you should release and re-tension the belt?
Find out and I'll try to help.

It is not difficult. Well, I can do it

The Gates app for "tuning" the belt is the least fun available to humans. But it sort of works, if you have 3 hands. 🫢🥳

Whichever way you paint it the job is a bit of a faff but that's just bikes. We either get to grips with it or we let a shop do it. It's cheaper in the long run to learn a few basics but if you're not confident your local bike shop will sort it 👍

Is there a bicycle project near you that might do it for you, and teach you how to do it in future?
