2. Most difficult was the removal and re-installation of the spring assembly for the door. Had to remove old rod and spring, which as easy as slid out as one end of old door had broken off. Difficulty was re-assembly of the springs and installation of the rod. Had to use multiple vise grips to hold one end of spring under tension while re-inserting the rod. Took several attempts before finishing. In my opinion, the door should have been sent complete with the springs and rod attached to it would have been an easy unbolt and re-bolt installation.
3. Removed old rod and springs.
4. Used vise grips to hold spring in tension while trying to insert the rod. Took several attempts before successful.

1. Snip the cable ties
2. Follow the wires on the existing switch. Route the new wires alongside the old ones. The cowling slides into a notch and doesn't need any tools. Remove the old wires. Attach the grounding wire. Plug in the other wire.
3. Attach the switch. Do not over tighten the bolt.
4. Put on new cable ties.
Discharge door-
1. Tilt the mower on its side. Air filter should be up in the air, not near the ground. Otherwise you'll spill gas into it.
2. Unbolt two screws and put them in a safe place. It's easiest to do the next steps inside the house where you have flat surfaces.
3. Take the door off. Note the position of the spring arms- one goes on the outside and the other presses against the spring. It helps to take a picture of the spring position of the inside.
4. Pull the bolt out from the spring with needle nose pliers. It pulls out easily.
5. Slide the spring into place in the door assembly. Place the other end over the bracket, creating tension on the bracket..
6. Start sliding the bolt back, through the door, into the bracket and then into the spring. Press the exposed end of the bolt on a hard flat surface to slide it in the rest of the way. This is a lot easier than trying to hold the spring in place with clamps.
7. Finish pushing the bolt into place with pliers.
8. Go back outside. Put the door assembly into position. Tilt the mower up from the front to insert the screws. This cannot be done by tilting the mower on its side (hard lesson)
9. You're done. Total time, if I had to do this again, would be <15 minutes including cleanup.
