Use 13mm socket to remove wheel. Determine it the gear on the mower is worn. Check both wheels to determine if you need to replace the gear on both sides! If you don\'t you\'ll end up ordering twice and paying for shipping twice. Also the sam ... Read more e gear works on both sides and is marked with an R and L so you will know how to put it on.
Remove c clamp with screwdriver and pliers. Don\'t bend it. Just press down on the clamp until you can get a grip on it with the pliers and then pull it off.
Remove the washer
Remove the worn out gear. Don\'t let the little free moving metal tab that engages the gear slip out of its slot or the wheel will not engage when you finish.
Put the new gear on. It has an R on one side and an L on the other. The R goes on the right side as you stand behind the mower, L on the left side.
Reverse the process for the washer and c clamp.

Removed mower blade and belt.
Rebuilt transmission and repackaged with grease.
Reassembled and found an extra spacer. Eventually found it went in between the main engine shaft and the blade\'s shaft-bracket. If you leave this off then the engine won\'t turn due to clamping friction ... Read more of the bracket against the engine\'s bottom.
After reassembling with all new parts and testing, the left wheel gears still sounded bad (grinding). Read different website forums from 2010-now where some people fixed this design/tolerance issue by adding spacers between the left wheel mount and the mower body. I added those and the grinding went away.
I\'m not sure exactly what happened. My wife called me and said that the tire exploded. The plastic hub had twisted up like a straw.
