Can't Remove Pully Nut....Help

[polarisgold]

I just bought an '06 Yard Machine for $150. It looks great for an '06 and runs great as well. I got such a good deal due to the fact that one of the blade spindals is froze up. So I got a new one but it came without a pully but I can not remove the pully nut from tthe old spindal. I stuck the old spindal in a vise and viced gripped the threaded opposite end. It won't budge.

The nut/spindal is not rusted in any way and looks to be in great condition.

Any ideas on holding this pig and removing the nut would be greatly appreciated!!

Have a better look at the bolt some are left hand threaded bolts, you may, and am not saying you are, turning the wrong way.

I use a 1/2" impact.

That may have been what I was doing.....do you know weather or not blade spindals are left or right hand thread??

My 1/2" Impacts is usless due to the fact that I had to sell my compressor.

Do you know if blade spindals are left or right hand thread??

Are blade spindals typically right hand thread or left???

Typical I do not know. My Crafstman is right hand BOLT. If you can get a long handled pipe wrench on the spindle try to match the handle length with the breaker bar . Use extensions on both handles if necessary. Small dia pipe works.
If safe and last resort weld a lever onto the spindle . Sometimes this is done to loosen auto flywheel bolts.

If the discharge is on the right side of the deck the spindles are right hand thread. If the discharge is on left side of the deck then they are left hand. Or another way to explain it is right hand blade has right hand thread and left hand blade is left hand thread.

Its on the right side. So now I am back to my original question.....See ititle. I have the spindal locked in a vice and I'm using a 1/2"ratchit with a pipe slid over the handel and the nut moved a little, then nothing. I guess I'll try a longer pipe.
