Super Easy Install

Take out a few bolts, the recoil is mounted with rivets on the top piece, remove top so you drill out the rivets on your work bench, then use hardware kit to install new unit, I used lock tight, on the screws, just a little extra security keeping it tight.

Just what I needed

Other than having to drill out the rivets from the old mower housing, install was very simple. the provided nuts could have been a bit longer for ease but work.

Took me two twenty minute periods to finish the job.. We used new rivets instead of the included screws.. Did the job right and not rushed

Simple and Easy to install

Removal of the existing pop-rivets was the most difficult part. I used Loctite on the screws to prevent the loosening of the nuts during operation.
