Questions and answers
Best way to remove the auger pulley to replace belt if pulley is frozen.
To remove a frozen auger pulley on a Snapper SX5200R or SX5200E for belt replacement:
1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the belt cover.
3. Loosen or remove the auger pulley. Note: The pulley has left-hand threads, so turn it clockwise to loosen.
4. If the pulley is frozen and difficult to remove, apply penetrating oil and gently tap with a soft mallet to loosen.
5. Once loose, push the spring-tensioned idler pulley down and remove the belt.
Always ensure the engine is off and cannot start during this process.
