1. Safely jacked up the riding lawnmower high enough to be able to use my 1/2GÇ¥ impact gun.
2. Removed flange nuts that retained both cutting blades and noted direction of their cutting edge for proper installation of the new cutting blades.
3. Placed new cutting blades into position and hand threaded flange nuts until snug.
4. Used impact gun to reach proper torque of the flange nuts.
5. Lowered the mower to the ground, started the mower and engaged the blades to test for proper balance. Ran smooth and no shake.
6. Cut a test strip in the lawn and inspected the cut for amoralities. None observed.
7. Got a beer and placed it in the handy dandy cup holder and proceeded to mow a 1/2 acre of property.
