Engine Brake Disassembly

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Disassemble the engine brake (allows the operator to slow or stop the engine) in order to replace the return spring, bolts, brackets, or cable.

What you need

Tools

    1. Engine Brake Disassembly, Remove spring and brackets: step 1, image 1 of 1
      • Remove the return spring by using needle nose pliers, a screwdriver, or other device. I removed the spring by the end of the front bracket (away from the mower handle). Lift up and away from the bracket, and the spring should come out.

      • Beware! The spring is very strong and injury could result if proper care is not exercised.

      • Remove the two bolts using a 7/16 socket.
