Thus, the replacement part did not work. I called customer service for directions about returning the part.

I ended up disassembling the old gearbox and fixing it, instead of replacing it (which would have been my preference). The replacement part did not work at all!

Only part of repair that took a few seconds was making sure the blower chute moved fully to the right and left. Lucky, the fix is remove cotter pin on the hex shaft, move handle and chute fully to the right or left reinstall hex, check for full swing, replace cotter pin. The cable end is barbed, but can be removed with a twisting pull.
