Additional Information

The snowblower hex flange nut, part number 588252901, threads onto a bolt to secure components while the integrated flange helps spread clamping force. This helps keep assemblies tight and aligned during operation.

You might notice components loosening, vibration near mounting points, or fasteners that will not stay tight. Worn threads, corrosion, or a missing flange nut can also allow parts to shift under load.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The nut installs alongside metal brackets and rotating components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Tighten the nut securely to the specified torque before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
