Lawn Tractor Steering Shaft Bushing (replaces 532195227) 195227

Very easy to install, overall about a 15 minute job.

requires care in pressing the bushing to avoid breaking. The entire mower dash has to be removed to gain access.

Got the part when they said we would get it. Always easy to order.

Excellent, the part came sooner then estimated and fit perfectly.

unbolt the steering wheel, take out five screws that hold dashboard, take dash off. Take small hammer and tap steering wheel adapter off. take small screw driver and pry bushing out. Put a little grease in new bushing and slide it into position tap it in with small hammer. reassemble everything in reverse order. Only takes about 10 minutes.

Remove steering wheel pieces. Then you must remove mower deck.( I tried without removing mower deck and it was not possible) then remove locking pin at bottom of steering shaft and 2 bolts at bottom of steering shaft. Then you will be able to drop shaft low enough to get beyond bushing. Remove old bushing and new bushings will snap right in, then reverse process. (it is not possible to collapse new bushing around steering shaft. steering shaft must be removed)

Steering shaft for craftsman riding mower was very easy to install

With several trial and error attempts, installation took about an hour. Was not able to find any installation instructions. Remove instrument panel from mower, remove old bushing. The hard part is finding a way to compress new bushing in order to seat it into position. I used two large screwdrivers, one on each side of bushing. A second person would be an advantage.
