This was ridiculously helpful. I followed your steps, and I was able to take off the tires VERY quickly. And thank you for mentioning the key at the end. I am not very mechanically inclined. I didn't know that was in there, and I KNOW I would have lost one or both of them.
Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I put a little anti-seize on my when i put it back together. Hopefully easier off next time.
Thanks heaps for the video, I had all the tools ready to go so I didn't need to keep getting up and kneeling down when I discovered what I needed next. You just saved an old Melbourne guy a LOT of back pain, cut down on the swearing too, very much appreciated.
And i did!. At least removed, installed repair kit which holds rear axle and ...had some beer. Today, i need just put wheels back. Nothing else. Tbhanks.
Thanks for the video! I already had taken off the wheel and put it back on (with an inner tube)...but the mower only drove for a little while and then wouldn't go forward or reverse. I didn't know about that key! Apparently I lost it along the way. So, after watching the video, I jammed an allen wrench in the slot and it works fine now. (I WILL get the proper key though.)
Just had a guy call me about that. "When I put the tire back on, it won't move!" I told him about the key and sure enough, he found it on the ground under the tire. Thanks for watching.
Well, before I resorted to using the 3/32" allen wrench for a key (and after your video), I picked through every blade of grass in the lawn and every stone on the gravel driveway...couldn't find the key. It was odd that the mower was able to cut the entire 1/4 acre before it wouldn't drive anymore. Right after I had originally put the wheel back on, it wouldn't go...but then it lurched forward and was fine for a while. Twice more, while I was mowing, it wouldn't drive and then finally lurched forward each time...until the final time when it wouldn't go at all. That's when I watched your video and voila!...allen wrench!
I am not sure if that allen wrench can cause damage to the shaft but you might consider changing it out with a square key. The local hardware store usually sells "square stock". If you buy the correct size, you can cut it to length and make your own key. Thanks again for watching.
There should be a slot in the retaining clip that you can stick a flat head screwdriver in. Then kinda twist the screwdriver back and forth and leverage the retaining clip off of the axle.
man I've been stuck tryng to hey my back wheel off this Husqvarna for days. mine moved freely for about an inch when pulled then stops like there's some kind of lock preventing it from coming off. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
In case there is a burr or large build up of rust on the end of the shaft, you may have to break out some sand paper or file. Sand or file around the end of the axle. You may also have to use a product like "PB Blaster" to break up some rust. Hope you get it worked out soon - try not to shoot the D&$%^#N thing!
They are called Woodruff keys.You will find them on many mechanical applications including holding the timing belt pulley to the crank on an Opel Vectra where they usually break and wreck your engine.

Happy to help. I have seen people forget to put that key back in and wonder why the axle is turning but the wheel isn't! Thanks for watching.
@@RealManSkillsope! I should have watched till the end....I think I lost mine!!
@@JESSEPINKMAN74 No worries. You can buy square stock at the local hardware store and make your own.
@@RealManSkillsI actually found it! 🤣 Really surprised by that! good to know that I can get another one fairly easily. Thanks for the great video!
@@JESSEPINKMAN74 Thanks for watching!
Great demonstration, piece of cake, slice of pie. Thanks for sharing

Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I put a little anti-seize on my when i put it back together. Hopefully easier off next time.
Yes, I started to use anti-seize more often myself. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much _Sunday morning in Bonville country NSW Australia helped out my hostess to get the mower going for her son!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.

Thanks, perfect instructions.

Hi and thanks for great video! How do you do to get the plastic cap back on? hot air?
Sometimes they go on easy enough but sometimes I soften them up with a heat gun or blow dryer. Thanks for watching.
What is the diameter of the axle?
What inner tube can I use with this?
Hi
Thanks for the video! If one key is missing (one side), the problem will be the same? (Mower does not go.)
Thanks!
I think that is correct. But I never really thought about it or tested that possibility. Thanks for watching
Problem solved, mower is moving 😊
Thanks 🙏
Great video on how to remove the rear wheel, but didn't show the removal of the rear tire.
How do you put the tire BACK on with the pin? Do l tap it in with a hammer or...? I am at a loss!
Yes, after lining up the groove for the key, I sometimes have to lightly tap the key into the groove.
When you remove the retaining clip … I can’t see what you’re doing! Which not are you using the flat head screwdriver etc on?
Which bit
There should be a slot in the retaining clip that you can stick a flat head screwdriver in. Then kinda twist the screwdriver back and forth and leverage the retaining clip off of the axle.

What is that key called?
It's called a "key". It's about two inches long. Check out part # 532123583 from Husqvarna. Thanks for watching.

How do you put the tire back on (specifically the retaining clip)
The clip fits into a groove. I slide it into place with a pliers. I will make a better video.
