Hopefully someone can help me... I went to change the blades on my Kobalt 40 volt dual blade mower after researching which way to turn the nuts and which one was blade one and which one was Blade 2. I was able to successfully change Blade 2.
However when I went to loosen the nut on blade 1 it backed off about an eighth of an inch then something loosened, and I was left with the nut turning with the bolt (shaft?) with the blade blocked in place.
With the blade insulator and spacer still in place as well as the blade and the plastic key part behind it and the washer spacer behind that there is no room for me to grab the shaft and back the nut off. The only way I see to get any room is to cut the blade insulator off. It is plastic and I should be able to cut it but I would prefer not to.
I tried to attach a video but I see that I cannot.
Any ideas on how else to approach this?
