I'm getting smarter. Take pictures with your phone. Undo everything. Put in the reverse order using the new part. Tighten and check to make sure else there will be wobble and rattle as before the repair. It's so simple I did if for my riding lawnmower as well.
A tip I should have, would have, could have: Buy the blade replacement online at the same time and get the thatching type with fans of steel cut into the blades. You'll get a wonderful, new, even cut with little thatch.
Another tip: Keep the old parts you take off on nails and hooks so you can know which ones to replace next time.

Old bolt was sheared off and old adapter had to be removed with a gear puller.
The end of the motor crankshaft had to be cleaned up for the new adapter to fit.
After this everything went back together OK.
