Additional Information

The snowblower chute crank worm bracket, part number 7028162, helps support the chute crank worm mechanism, providing a stable mounting point so the worm engages smoothly during chute adjustment. Proper bracket support can help maintain consistent chute rotation and reduce binding.

If the chute is hard to turn, skips when rotating, or does not hold position as expected, the chute crank worm bracket may be loose, bent, or worn. Uneven resistance when adjusting the chute or noise from the crank area can also indicate an issue with the bracket or its alignment.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The bracket installs near moving chute components and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Position the bracket securely and confirm smooth chute rotation before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
