2. Removed the plastic cover of the control assemblies mounted near the machine handles.
3. Remove the control assembly of the damaged cable and remove the end of the cable attached to the top movable section of the snow chute.
4. Install new snow chute cable control assembly near the snow machine handles and mount the other end of the snow chute cable on the upper section of the snow chute.
5. Using plastic ties, loosely, but securely, secure the chute control cable in such a way that the cable will not be damaged by the drive wheels of the snow blower.
6. Replace the plastic cover on the control assemblies and the rubber cushions on the control rods.

2. Remove the control panel sp that I could get at the bolts holding the control assembly onto the frame. (4 bolts)
3. Remove the old control assembly "handle end", and replace with the new one. (2 bolts, which self-taps into the new control assembly).
4. Thread the control cable to the direction chute.
5. Remove the old control assembly's "chute end", and replace with the new one. (2 bolts)
6. Use ties to tie down the cable so that neither touches the muffler nor the tires.
The hardest part was that the bolts holding the control assembly "handle end" self-tap, so it requires getting the bolt aligned and turning it with enough torque and downward pressure to make it self-tap. (The control assembly simply has holes in it metal, and the holes are not threaded).
