How to replace a skid shoe on your Lawn Boy gas snowblower

  • Pull the wire straight up and off of the spark plug.
  • Loosen and remove skid shoe mounting nuts. Pull the skid shoe off of the housing.
  • Position the new skid shoe on the mounting bolts and finger tighten the nuts.
  • Place corrugated cardboard under the scraper blade to hold the blade about ¼-inch off the ground. Lower the skid shoe so that it contacts the ground. Tighten the mounting nuts with the ½-inch wrench.
