## Narrative

The crew were replacing the belt on the shaker with a rolled belt.  The new belt was suspended by a pipe and chains.  The new belt was egg shaped because of weight and needed to be lifted and pulled to meet the old belt so that it could be spliced in.  As EE and 2 other crew members were pulling and lifting the belt, EE's shoulder popped.
