Additional Information
The snowblower roll pin, part number 05804700, holds connected components in position by fitting tightly into matched holes. The spring tension of the pin helps resist movement and keeps parts aligned during operation.
You might notice components shifting, developing excess play, or separating during use. Vibration, rattling, or a connection that no longer stays secure can also indicate a roll pin is worn, damaged, or missing.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Driving or removing a roll pin involves striking metal parts, so work gloves can help protect your hands. Drive the pin straight and confirm it is fully seated before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
