To remove/replace the shave plate:

2. Tip the snow thrower back enough to access the
shave plate.
NOTE: Laying the snow thrower on its back will cause the
engine cylinder to fill with oil.

by the arrows in Figure 4.1.) that hold the shave plate
to the auger housing using a 7/16" wrench.
NOTE: The shave plate is reversible. If both sides of the
shave plate is worn, then replace it.

in reverse order.
5. Test run the snow thrower in a safe area before
returning it to service.
