Parts for Kenmore 521.246801 (521246801, 521 246801): Other Parts

This is a shear bolt assembly for snowblowers that consists of one metal shear bolt and one metal nut. This is a component that helps protect the snowblower during use. In a situation where the auger is clogged or jammed, the shear bolt snaps when too much pressure is applied. The snapping of the bolt prevents other components in the snowblower from being damaged in this situation. The shear bolt assembly will need to be replaced before using the snowblower in the future.If the shear bolt assembly is broken or damaged, the augers on the snowblower will no longer turn. A socket set and a wrench set will be needed to replace the nut and bolt included with the assembly. The first step is to remove the broken shear bolts so that the new components can be installed. Before making the replacement, ensure the snowblower is turned off, on a level surface, and has had the spark plug wire disconnected.This is an authentic OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. The shear bolt assembly is designed to be used on snowblowers manufactured by Ariens.
