Difficulty replacing our belt (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trouble

'difficulty' is the definition.
(trouble is a kind of difficulty)

'replacing our belt' is the wordplay.
'replacing' is an anagram indicator (placing again).
'our'+'belt'='ourbelt'
'ourbelt' is an anagram of 'TROUBLE'.

(Other definitions for trouble that I've seen before include "Difficulty; public disorder" , "Difficulty or inconvenience" , "Difficulty; cause distress to" , "Hassle" , "Distress - concern - effort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
