One of clamps on the plastic cover that hold the front axle in place broke, so the height adjuster would stay set.

Released the axle from the other locking clamp with a screwdriver, (I didn\'t remove the wheels) took the mounting bolts that hold the cover onto the front of the mower off with a socket, and removed the cover, and with the same size socket, removed the piece that the height adjuster bar locks into from the old cover, and placed it on the new cover; then I reattached the new cover to the mower and put on and tightened the bolts, lined up the front axle with the left and right side locking clamps, and with a good whack, popped the axle on both sides into place, set my cutting height, and was done!
