Dumped oil as it was advised cause you supposedly would have to put mower on side. I ended up having to find a way to brace front wheels while trying to remove nut holding tire on. Did that--got shoulder bolt in--though it didn\'t necessarily feel secure as it kept turning---but video didn\'t show a nut or anything attached to keep it i n place and there may not be room? Accomplished task tho leary as to whether bolt wouldn\'t vibrate loose again--mower is 3 years old. Unfortunately bolt did vibrate loose but grateful I ordered two at the time of my order----so will be attempting same thing over Labor Day weekend only trying to see if I can\'t secure bolt in place with a nut and some loctite! Hopefully that won\'t be a mistake. Thanks for your quick fulfillment of order. Was greatly appreciated.
