Auger would not turn when ever was engaged

1. Removed 5 bolts on belt cover
2. Putting a wrench on the nut on the idler pulley bolt I loosened the bolt and removed the idler pulley bearing sleeve.
3. Putting the bolt through the new beating with the side not sticking out that is raised I threaded the bolt back on the engagement arm. Then tightened the bolt and nut.
4. I then slipped the belt back on the pulleys like on the diagram on the backside of the plate.
5. Put the five bolts back in the cover making sure the washer for the top bolt in the auger is on top were the plastic is in contact with the nut. Tighten all nuts and bolts.
