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.
