I’ve got a 2018 model T2290 tractor mower which needs a pulley replacement on the drive belt. Pulleys already ordered. Are there any good tips to make this laborious job go a little easier ?

Take before pictures as you disassemble.
Get a Workshop Manual if possible.
Ask questions here if you get stuck.
I see you've already read the other post for doing this - good luck!

A decent impact wrench makes removing the steering column and engine drive pulley easy. Could be pretty difficult without an impact.
I couldn't find a WSM for free, maybe someone on here has one.
I did find a WSM for a T2290KWT-AU HERE for $20 issued in 2021. I don't know what the AU stands for and if it matters or not. Again, hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can enlighten us before you spend the money.

AU generally refers to Australia, maybe continent specific or built to kubota order in Oz?
Finally got around to working on this machine a few days ago. Found the main culprit ... the rear mounted idler pulley seized a couple times and besides digging a deep groove in the pulley, it also ruined the main drive belt. So I am replacing all 3 pulleys and the belt. Took almost 4 hours to get everything apart. Also, totally not necessary to remove the electric clutch. Just remove a guide bracket, unplug the harness and the belt slips easily over the whole thing. Also included a picture of the other two pulleys on the clutch arm. That was a little tough to wrestle out and back in again (but is very doable) and seems the far easiest way to do those two pulleys.
