I have found two different YouTube videos on how its done.
How are you going to get them out from under?

Its not a heavy item. Put the mower on a couple jack stands and undo a number of bolts & wire connections. Video says it can be done in 1/2 hour. So it will probably take me 5 hours!

Too bad I can't be there to help. It would take 10.

The plan was to unload my Pilot and sit on the back porch with an adult coffee while letting the cats explore. The plans changed a bit when I walked out and found the brand new bottle of Irish Cream broken on the garage floor after it rolled out of the vehicle. I don't even know where to begin to clean up that sticky mess. Any ideas? Glass and sticky liquid. At least it wasn't the more expensive Whiskey and I still had an almost new bottle of it. I decided the mess wasn't going anywhere so I'm sitting on the porch enjoying my coffee and my cats are ready for me to give them goodies inside the house. It's 7:28 and I might as well wait for 8 PM to howl with the neighbors.

Good plan of action, Patty.
When you get

I would sweep up all the glass. Waiting might make that easier. Then hose down what's left.

Then again, you could call these guys.

Maybe your Irish Cream will magically reappear.

Thanks for the confirmation. At first I was dumbfounded. That seems to happen more and more often.

I think they are making bottles more slippery. I KNOW they are making magazine print smaller.
