· Remove support bracket that connects the Auger Transmission Housing. Four 10MM nuts/bolts on the top of the bucker and two that bolt direct to the Auger Housing.
· Remove Blower Shear Bolt
· Remove the Side Bolts that hold the Auger to the Bucket
· Carefully slide the Auger Out
· Remove Auger Shear Bolts and Slide Augers off.
· Wipe old grease clean on the shafts, clean O Ring.
· Apply Marinegrade Grease/Antisieze on both the shafts as well as the impeller shaft
· Clean the flanges that hold the Auger to the Bucket. Thoroughly apply Marinegrade grease to the flange as cup of the flange.
· Put flanges back on Auger Ends and bolt everything back up.
· When putting back the shear bolts, I used a smigen if not less than a hairs breath of antisieze on the bolt. A little goes a looooooong way.
I could not bear not being up to OEM spec so I am holding off on painting the scratches in the impeller till I get Honda Paint Color R136 Diana Red.
While the Augers were out, I took the opportunity to do another heavy coating of sealant on the interior of the bucket. I also painted the Augers with Rustoleum Professional Black Paint. I like this paint as it is almost borderline industrial grade and has alot more solids in it.
