Easy to install however....
January 27, 2021

It was easy to install however, I wish I bought at least 1 push nut. 1 definitely needs to be replaced when changing the cam lock.

A new cam lock on Craftsman snowblower 536.887752.
April 24, 2020

The installation of this part was rather easy. I removed the left push-on nut (#801 in the manual's exploded drawing) with a large screw driver by twisting the screw driver at several locations around the nut. Then I removed the spring pivot pin (#800) along with the push-on nut at the other end of the pin. The existing cam lock (#799) can then be removed. I put some grease on the spring pivot pin and inside the new cam lock, put the new cam lock in position, and then reinserted the spring pivot pin through the new cam lock. I then put a metal block (wood might work too) to the right between the spring pivot pin and the blower housing, lightly tapped with a hammer on the push-on nut that was previously removed, and then hit the push-on nut hard with a hammer put force it back on the spring pivot pin. That finished the project.
