Removed the bottom plate to access the friction wheel. Had to remove the axel that held the plate in place. In order to do that, you've got to remove the bushings on either side. Once out, it's pretty easy to replace. Snowblower has much better "go" now. Still a little squeaking, but I'm thinking that's coming from the wheels.
