holding the bearings (item 2) on each side
of the lower auger (item 4). Remove the
lower auger from the snowblower.
2. Install the new sprockets (item 3) on both

the upper auger (item 5) and four 3/8" NC x 1
1/2" bolts for the lower auger (item 4), with
lockwashers and nuts (items 6-7-8). Tighten

at the end of the manual.
3. Reinstall the lower auger (item 4) with the
existing bearings (item 2) and the upper
auger (item 5) with the bearings (item 9)
supplied in the kit and secure in place with
1/2" x 1 1/2" bolts, lockwashers and nuts
