All I needed to do was remove the small, 10mm bolt from the existing mounting bracket and then replace with the new assembly using a ratchet set. Done in 5 minutes. Very easy and convenient.
I purchased the side chute as well because the old one was worn and falls off often when I am mowing.
Bought a discounted store model mower without a side chute.
