Took the reduction box cover off B2782A to check chain tension. Noticed the two bolts holding hub looked bent going into sprocket. When I tried removing them, they broke in two. Managed to remove pieces. Holes in hub look egg-shaped and do not line up with sprocket. How do I line them back up and should I use grade 8 bolts instead of the 5's that broke? Thanks, Randy:confused2:

You need to use a tapered drift pin for the line-up. As far as the holes being egg shaped that's because the bolts had got loose and you had movement.Use the same grade that is requires and use lock nuts and or Blue Loc-tight.I had a blower like that and before use check all bolts for tightness. That area shoud be easy as that's where you can lube chain.
