Replaciing blades on gas auger Eskimo stingray 8"

Ive never have to do the replacement since it is relatively new. I have the new blades just wondering if it is as simple as just removing the old ones and putting them on with ratchet? Do I have to be worried about angle or will that just happen?

They should be set up and ready to go, just bolt on.

Take a picture of the blades before taking them off and then wear a pair of gloves when replacing if it’s your 1st time changing blades.

Just bolt them up and you will be good to go. Take the old ones to a professional sharp shop and get them done and they will be good as new for when the new ones get dull or you hit something on a trip you can be back in business in no time. Never shim or put anything under the blades as some may tell you. That is just a way to hide the fact the blades have been sharpened to the wrong angle.

Bolt on and let 'er rip. I replaced mine before my first trip. It is as straight forward as it looks.

Just check where the label is facing out or in and put the new ones on the same way.

And like said previous wear a pair of gloves, those buggers are sharp and can cut very easily.

It’s more complicated to start the thing than it is to change the blades. Just over thinking it is all

Just don’t over torque them as they aren’t that large of a bolt and check them after u have used them for a day.

Thanks all was very easy just wanted to see if there were any heads up. Last year had blades sharpened and no comparison to how this ripped thru the ice.
