I just had this happen to me. I tried using a razor blade - it was working but spring would have arrived before I had all the paper out. I tried burning the paper out with a propane torch - the paper was too wet to burn. What finally worked was a sawzall with a flexible blade. That allowed me to cut the paper out of the auger. If you take a pipe wrench and turn the auger back the opposite direction it should get it out. Good luck.

To adjust the auger belt on a Sears model C950 snowblower, first, ensure the machine is off and disconnected from power. Locate the auger belt cover, usually found on the front of the snowblower, and remove it to access the belt. Adjust the tension by loosening the mounting bolts on the engine or idler pulley, repositioning the belt for proper tension, and then retightening the bolts. Finally, replace the cover and ensure everything is securely fastened before testing the snowblower.
