• Reply by GP - 10 September 2010 is correct. "Take out the screw and loosen the tabs by hand (or with a flat blade screw driver) and take off the cap" - My model had 3 screws and no tabs but the rest is the same. Tip carefully clean out the screw heads before trying to remove screws to prevent rounding them off. It is NOT a push fit. If you do this your "repair" will last no time at all.

• I bought one of these for my mower and found this pretty straight forward to fit. It is hard to remove the old part, because the shaft that it is attached will rotate, but don't be tempted to pull it off as it could damage the bearing that the mower shaft sits in. The best way i found to fit this is remove the plate on the hub that holds the blades and the fan underneath it. Turn the mower up right and remove the orange lid. There's only a couple of screws either side and a slot in tab on the front (this is a good opportunity to clean out the filters etc!). Once the lid is off you'll see a brown black cap over the top of the motor. There is one screw and a couple of tabs at the side. Take out the screw and loosen the tabs by hand (or with a flat blade screw driver) and take off the cap. You'll now see the other end of the motor shaft which has a slot in it for a screwdriver. Turn the mower on its side and with a screw driver in the slot you can prevent the mower shaft from turning while you unscrew the hub adapter by hand. Screw on the new one in the same way (I was cautious about over tightening in case it stripped the threads inside the hub). Refit all the plastic gubbins and you're up and running. For info i've not done this before and it's pretty simple to do. If you get lost check out the exploded diagram on this site! By GP - Newc - 10 September 2010
