The cable that engages the blades on the snowblower snapped.

Time

Tools Used
Wrench Set, Nutdriver, Channel lock pliers
Parts Used
Using a nutdriver, remove the sheet metal screws holding the clutch mechanism cover (this was the longest part of the process - there are a lot of screws). My cable snapped at the handle so that end was already loose. Remove the "Z" shaped end from the clutch and install the new cable end.
Pull the T-shaped end into the bracket on the handle.
Now adjust tthe tension with the nut and threaded sleeve on the cable so that there is tension in the cable but not so much that the clutch engages. I used a channel lock pliers and an open end wrench to make this adjustment and tighten the nut against the threaded tube (so it acts as a jam nut).
Reinstall the clutch mechanism cover.
The whole process took about 25 minutes. If I did it again, it would take considerably less time now that I know how to do it.
