printhead race problem on mutoh falcon outdoor 46

[schent]

Semi-newbie, self tech 1.5 years now
I have the Mutoh made falcon outdoor 46. Having a metal band raceway
problem. When printing and the head moves to the far left, the right hand side of the metal band turns slightly whacking the raceway guide and an internal screw holding the raceway motor in place. As a result the bottom of the metal band is being chewed up. Any thoughts as to this?
Can I detach, reposition and reattach the race from the printhead without srewing things up?
Any Ideas?

You need to replace the steel band.

Just did that, but the existing problem seems to still remain.
It appears that the pulley on the drive motor has slipped down, according to the manual it appears to be pressed on, any thoughts about anything but replacing the entire motor?
