SPINDLE REPLACEMENT-Since demolishing the old spindle assembly is often the most difficult part of the replacement process, reassembly of the unit should be a breeze. Insert the new spindle into the center of the spindle housing. Reattach the spindle housing to the mower deck with the bolts that you separated previously. Reinstall the blade and pulley and tighten them into place.. SPINDLE DEMOLISHING- To access the spindle easily, demolished the deck from the mower. Demolished the blade and pulley from the spindle and lay them aside. When a spindle has been in place on the mower for a number of years, it may be difficult to disassemble.

Rather than replacing the entire spindle, you can simply install new bearings.However, if the spindle is broken or bent, replace it entirely..
