Pretty straight forward. Just took out the bolts and impeller, then put'em back in. I did need a 3rd hand to get 2 of the bolts back in on the 'passenger side'.

Parts Used
1. Removed as much gas as I can from tank
2. Tilted snow blower back on to handle to get to bolts. Easier if on a shop table!!!
3. Shot bolts to be removed with WD40 - let it sit awhile.
4. Using a 5/8" (I think) socket I took off old scrapper
5. Used a hammer to tap off the old scrapper.
6. The housing of snow blower was slightly bent from 23years of use, so I used a 3lb hammer to carefully straighten the housing.
7. Align hole in new scrapper with mounting holes on housing and tapped into place with hammer
8. Starting from one end I put bolts into place and slightly tightened until all 3 bolts were in place
9. Tightened all bolts once in place.
10. The exploded view showing the parts on your web page helps tremendously in figuring on how to approach the job.

Watched a video on how to change the blades. Followed the instructions on the video. Very informative. Don't forget to remove the spacers from the old blades and install on the new blades. I also used vice grips to clamp down the ends of the blades and hold the screw in position because you need 2 hands to align the nut and screw with a star driver.

The rubber on the blades was worn down

Time

Tools Used
Screwdriver, Wrench Set, Cut off tool.
Removed all the screws on the first blade, pulled old rubber blade off the machine. Placed new rubber on machine and started all new screws. Came back and tightened all screws and started on the second blade ( same process ) then used a cutoff tool to cut through all the original screws on the scraper blade that was worn down below the head. Popped off old scraper and used new screws and locknuts to reinstall the new scraper. Job finished, it was really very easy using original replacement parts from ereplacementparts.com!
