Replacing a Shear Pin on a Simplicity Two Stage Snow Blower
Watch our video on how to replace a broken shear pin on a Simplicity two stage snow blower.
The shear pins are designed to break when the auger shaft is over-torqued, so the gear case won’t be damaged if you get something stuck in the augers.
Step 1:
Remove the ignition key
Step 2:
Tilt the snowblower back onto it’s handles
Step 3:
Generally, shear pins will fall off if they break, but if some still remains, remove the piece, if it is wedged in there you may need a hammer and punch.
Step 4:
Align the hole in the auger shaft with the hole in the gear case shaft
Step 5:
Install the new shear pins through those holes
Step 6:
Tighten with the socket wrench, and then jiggle the auger to be sure it is tight
