It was very easy to figure out online what parts I needed. Actually bought extra Flange Lock Nuts as I didn\'t realize that they came with the axle assembly but it was no big deal. Borrowed a socket wrench from my son and the rest was a piece a cake. For around $35 including tax and shipping my lawn mower is like new. Used it yesterday!!

After replacing both front wheels, which were badly worn out, I replaced the adjustment piece thinking this would solve my problem. That was very simple, just 2 bolts.

Determined axle was held in by plastic pressure clips. Once popped out the old axle the repair was simple. Just pop the new axle in at the proper orientation and remount the wheels.

The rear adjustment lever was broken off the machine
With the machine sitting on the ground, loosened the wheel nuts. I set the machine on three gallon buckets one under the front and one under each side in front of the rear wheels. Remove the wheels and 4 bolts (2 each side) holding the axle assembly to the deck. Remove the axle assembly from under deck. Install new one in reverse order.
