Order shear pin and cotter pin. Line up the holes on the auger and the axle. Inert the shear pin through the auger and axle, secure the shear pin by placing the cotter pin in the hole of the shear pin.
I ordered extra of both of these parts, because they do have a habit of breaking. But they do save the snowblower from damage.

I followed the instructions on the video by ereplacement after identifying the fact one of my deck pulleys bearing was no longer turning properly.
1. Remove deck pins
2. Release belt (which was missing in my case) and take the deck from under the tractor.
3. Loosen the bolt nut from the top of the pulley to remove (soc ket on top, box wrench under- neath
4. Remove the washer, and pulley, bearing housing, then replace with the new pulley and bearing housing. Hint: put the belt around the pulley before replacing the pulley on the bolt so that they fit into the pulley guard housing, otherwise you will have to loosen it again to put the new belt on.
5. Tighten the nut back on the pulley bolt, check to make sure it is flat and turns easily.
6. Loosen the other pulley and place belt around pulley circuit per deck requirements, of the mower.
7. Re-install the deck to the tractor.
