How to Change the Auger Belt on a HS828 Honda Snowblower

The auger belt on a Honda HS828 snowblower is the belt that makes the auger spin. Frail, brittle, or stretched out auger belts should be replaced because they can negatively impact the performance of your snowblower. If the belt completely breaks, the auger will not spin at all. It will take you about an hour to replace the auger belt.
