5521RS Husqvarna - Instructions

I removed one of the wheels and noticed that the gear teeth were worn off. I then checked the other wheel and it was the same. I ordered two replacement wheels and replaced the worn wheels with the new wheels. It took less than 15 minutes to remove the old wheels and replace with the new wheels. It took a ratchet and a 9/16 inch socket. It was a very easy repair.

Pushed the cable through the engine mount.Connected the cable to the engine slider. Pulled cable through the previous tie down connected to the lower end of the bar. Attached the connector on the cable to the hole in the lawn mower bar near the top of the bar.. Attached the top end of the cable to the on/off bar where you push the mower.

9/16s inch socket, something to prop up one side of the mower (I used a plastic plant pot), and about 5 minutes was all that was needed. Undo the nut on the wheel, remove, replace it with the new one (can't mess it up - just goes on one way which is extremely obvious), replace and tighten the nut -- done. Just that simple. With the new kicks it goes up hill like a champ now (instead of spinning, especially with the grass catcher attached).

Can't believe you all had replacement wheels for this dinosaur. They have drive gears attached to wheel. Very simple to fix but broke old exhaust chute on mower when I leaned it on its side. Now I have to find a replacement for it! Geeesh!!!

I mowed until gas was empty. No bottom plug had to turn mower on side and drained oil. I had buy special lubricants to remove blade bolt. That was a challenge. I called a friend to help place new blade on. Put in new filter, oil, and gas. Mower works great!

Removed wheel by pressing off the plastic hub cap exposing the nut holding the wheel. I removed the nut, then pulled the wheel straight off the axel shaft. This exposed the broken dust cover. I they wiggled the dust cover off, cleaned the dirt from inside the wheel, placed the new dust cover, replaced the wheel, nut and hub cap.

I took off the old blade adapter and put the new one on. It literally requires removing one bolt. Unfortunately, once I started and ran my mower for a few minutes it blew up and left a charred patch of lawn. The underside of the mower is mangled metal and unusable now. The repair, though, was super easy!
