How to Remove a mower blade. Technique and no special tools

This is a pretty straight forward way to remove a mower blade without the help if any special tools. I want everyone to thumbs up my video equipment or I'll hunt you down! Just kidding but it would be nice. Thanks for watching!

You spent 60+ seconds doing nothing when all we need to know is WHICH WAY NUT GOES TO TAKE OFF???/

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

I love this comment! Good morning Robbie. Rough night? Anyways whenyou clear the anger out of your eyes you can plainly see that the blade adapter comes off by going the opposite way a clock works. NOT A DIGITAL CLOCK!. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Dont forget to subscribe buddy!

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Hey Robbie, a couple a of my buddies saw your comment and texted me that you should not own a mower. LMAO! 😂 #JustSayin

1st time in my life I was able to remove a lawnmower blade by hand using your technique !! Thanks =)

[@mikeutley40]

Two thumbs up 👍! This helped me a whole lot. I didn't have to get a clamp or breaker bar. It saved me time and money. It just took a minute just to change my blade. Thanks 😊

[@chope6786]

Holy cannoli it works! I’ve been grunting w this thing for 30 minutes. FYI, not super strong female here. I did EXACTLY as video shows. THANK YOU! Still needed to apply my max pressure but I had no special tools- just the socket set he showed. 👍🏻

[@seanblessing4411]

I went through several videos and still couldn't get the blade off. The nut was just stuck. Your 'trick' with the box wrench and socket, for increased leverage, did it! Neat trick.

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Sean Blessing Thanks Sean. I appreciate the comment. I hope you subbed me. I have over 200 videos to help you out.

[@indaclubinthebutt9209]

Man i damn near striped mine

[@Soonerbldr]

Awesome, and thanks for the tip on using the crescent as a breaker bar. I bent the crap out of my blade and my impact wrench didn't budge the bolt, but by using your method I was able to break it free!

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

If you hit something hard enough to bend the blade and stop the mower, chances are you sheared the flywheel key. Now your mower won't start at all and if it's only partially sheared the pull rope will get yanked out of your hands when you try to start it. Good luck brother.

[@Proudfootzorz]

Still can't get mine free

This video is only one that helped me dudie thank ye very much.

[@lornemarysh9351]

Nice. I used a pipe that could fit the handle of socket wrench. Thanks for idea. Thumbs up.

Thumbs up buddy. I don't know if I can show my phone holder cause it's embarrassing. But just between you and me ( it's a selfie stick )

[@70sfred1]

Good practical advice!

[@jcros172]

Thank you so much. Worked great for me.

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Thank you so much for the comment. It means you watched the video, attempted the repair and then took the time to come back to KZbin and leave me your thoughts. It seems small but it is so greatly appreciated. Thank You.

[@adamlavigne8294]

What kind of mower is this ? Having troubles with mine

[@davidswarbrick9645]

Thanks 👍 Dave

[@RaineyPowerTraining]

I tried to take mine off with a 5 foot breaker and pipe and almost tore my deck off. Nut didn't budge at all.

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Daniel, something doesn't seem right. Looking at the mower blade it should come off lefty loosely. With the amount of leverage you say you were using it should have snapped the bolt off. Spray with penetrating oil and heat the bolt. See if that takes it off. If not either take it to a pro and sharpen it on the machine. That's all I got for you brother.

[@RaineyPowerTraining]

@@ZombieDaveAZ Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. At first I was turning clock wise. I didn't realize it was reverse threaded. But I've soaked it with Wd-40 and am going to try again with a different wrench tomorrow. Don't know what the heck is wrong with it.

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

@@RaineyPowerTraining they do get stuck on there pretty good sometimes. That's what's great about an impact wrench. It gives good quick hammering blows.

[@RaineyPowerTraining]

@@ZombieDaveAZ well, still couldn't get it off. Taking to a pro

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

@@RaineyPowerTraining cool, if they break the stud it's on them. At least you tried buddy.

[@calebg2762]

Do you think a bolt on my weed eater brand mower will work on my 20 in bolens mower?

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

There's on a couple sizes so there is a very good chance that you can interchange them.

[@davidgardner3436]

very to the point great video

[@horacesawyer2487]

Creepers, I didn't think about the engine might crank while removing or putting blade back ! Thanks

[@ctbt1832]

Bout time someone gave you the size of the socket. It may not match your lawn motor socket but at least you will be in the ballpark to bring out 1 or 2 sizes below or one or two sizes above instead of hauling your whole socket set somewhere or around

[@fishinwiththebradleys8542]

Siphon gas and remove oil first?

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

If you want put plastic over the gas filler neck and screw cap on. Oil is not a problem tipped back. Don't tip it towards the carb. You made 2 very good points. Thank you.

[@caleb1943]

I don't have a socket that fits so I used a pipe wrench and it won't move both ways can you help

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Righty tighty, lefty loosey applies to this blade removal. Use a block of wood to prevent the blade from moving and shock the wrench with a hammer. It will come loose.

[@notorioussquiz4971]

@@ZombieDaveAZ teaching the forgotten arts, thank you sir.

[@williamgleaton2992]

The nut on the blade shaft isn't as easy as he makes it, I've tried everything except a compact wrenchthe nut refuses to move.

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Hey William, if you need to apply more leverage use longer wrenches. And yes sometimes they are super stuck on there so an impact wrench May be necessary. Good luck buddy

[@notorioussquiz4971]

lol thanks dad

[@danr.graham9331]

What are the chances of the twisting off the bolt head?

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Not easy to break the bolt.. Spray with penetrating oil and heat if needed.

[@stevesmith6058]

I don’t like it it’s very abusive the tools he’s a breaker bar the right way

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Thanks steve

[@MadGitty]

What if the blades broken off

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

Is this on a push mower or riding tractor?
