2. Tip mower onto side with gas cap down.
3. Remove blade bolt with 9/16 socket wrench and remove bolt and blade..
4.Tap adapter with rubber hammer until loose.
5. Slide adapter down engine shaft until you can remove self-propel belt off pulley on adapter. Might have to use screwdriver to get belt started off pulley then it's comes off easy once it's past the guides on the bottom of the mower.
6. Reverse procedure. Slide new adapter onto engine shaft. I put a little WD-40 on shaft first. It only goes on one way on the shaft.
7. Put drive belt back on making sure adapter is all the way up on engine shaft and drive belt is in pulley groove and under belt guides on mower.
8. Install blade onto star shape on adapter and hold in place as you install blade bolt with flat washer and lock washer. Tighten to spec with socket wrench.
9. Put some gas in the gas tank and send your girlfriend back out to mow! ;-)
