Easy to replace. Instructions with part are well put together. After removing engine cover, the replacement was easy. Only issue was the replacement plug wires did not come with spark plug rubber boot. I had to pull them off of the old plug wires and install them, with a little soap, onto the new plug wires.

Once I removed the hood and side panels it was easy to remove the engine cover to replace the armature/ magneto. only issue I had is I also ordered a timing key but received a float bowl screw which I have no use for. The sticker on the back of the package says timing key. The front of the package from briggs and Stratton says float bowl screw which is what it is. I\'ve contacted customer service several times about this and have yet to get a response.
My lawn tractor now starts but won\'t wind up to full speed. I may have a carburetor issue as well.
