Always use the correct replacement size and grade to maintain proper protection. Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove any broken bolt pieces, align the holes in the auger and shaft, and insert the new shear bolt. Secure it with the appropriate nut and tighten snugly without overtightening.
