Additional Information

The snowblower shoulder spacer, part number 748-04097, installs between mating components to set correct spacing and keep parts aligned during operation. Proper spacing helps reduce wear and allows connected parts to move as intended.

You might notice components shifting out of position, uneven wear on nearby parts, or excessive play where parts should sit firmly together. Misalignment during operation can also lead to noise or inconsistent movement.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The spacer installs near metal brackets and fasteners, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Position the spacer correctly and tighten all fasteners securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
