9528 - Instructions

With WD-40 or equivalent, spray the four nuts on the underside of the snow blower housing that hold the shave plate to the housing. Also spray the two bolts that hold the shave plate to the side of the housing. Let sit for a few minutes and using a 1/2" box end wrench remove the four nuts on the bottom of the housing. If necessary, apply heat with a torch to loosen. Using a 9/16" box end wrench, remove the nuts on the sides (these also hold the adjustable skid feet). It is recommended that the bottom bolts and nuts be replaced with 5/16-18 X 3/4" long zinc plated carriage bolts using zinc plated washers and ny-lock nuts. It is also recommended that all of th screw threads be coated with an anti- seize lubricant so disassembly at a later date will be easy.

Put some dish soap on the rubber, push into the tank hole, slip 1x2 into the handle of the tank and over the new part and pry down pushing it into the hole. Took about 2 minutes.

old valve easily pulled out with screwdriver and pliers

install difficult due to 40 degree cold temp and bushing didn't want to squeeze into fuel tank hole

install required lots of liquid soap on bushing, which popped into place by using upward prying pressure from 3"X24" plywood braced into under-shelf of gas tank

used same technique to insert valve upward into bushing

works great!

popped out the old-----the bushing failed. replaced as per the included instructions

I looked at just buying the metal band for about $5. But I noted it would have required having to compress a spring in a very small area. Since my saw is over 5 years old I figured I might as well get the whole chain brake assembly which includes the cover, and all the guts that are in that cover. This included the metal band and the spring already installed. I think my time is worth something and not being frustrated with getting all the parts back in place was worth the extra $15. As far as the actual work this is how it went. Remove two large nuts on side of saw. Remove damaged cover. Put on new cover. Tighten 2 nuts. Adjust tension of chain. Only trick would be to check that the chain brake lever is not in the forward position (where it would stop the chain from turning). It should be in the back position (towards the top handle) to put back on the cover. Love this saw by the way for cutting small trees for firewood.

A very simple fix once I rec'd the part. Took old broken part off bolt and screwed new one on. Great to get saw back in ready for use status.

Did not do repair as replacement part did not match description on partselect website. The grommet is not part of the replacement that was sent. Order #22962198
