Practical socket sizes and several gotchas, gear oil drainage routing, belt tension relief, are called out explicitly. Best for BX owners doing this job themselves for the first time.
An owner-operator hobby homestead channel sharing firsthand maintenance experience on their own equipment, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
A 22-millimeter and 12-millimeter socket for the gear lube oil, channel locks for the tensioner spring, and a 30-millimeter socket for the blade bolts.
Two concave hex washers go crown up, then a washer with a hex hole fits on top of those, and then the bolt goes in.
It takes just under a half quart of 90-weight GL5-rated gear oil, filled through the top 12-millimeter bolt hole until it runs out.
The blade is not on splines, so it can slip free of the bolt and spindle if it hits something hard, preventing damage to the blade and deck.
