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.
Push the wire back onto the spark plug. Start the engine and confirm that the skid shoes keep the blade slightly off the ground.
