First time poster here, hello all and Happy Holidays.
Picked up a cordless impact wrench, early XMas gift to myself, for future blade change removal and other DIY functions, Milwaukee M18 Mid Torque. Getting older now figured it would make things easier going forward .Plan on installing blade carefully with wrench set on a low setting and verifying with torque wrench set to about 75lbs per spec. To date, always used manual wrench & socket, never checked torque.
Duh! stupid question coming. The spindle nut on my mower is atop the spindle pulley and runs thru the deck to a nut below deck that secures the blade. Torquing the nut above the deck on the spindle is easier and would be the same torque value as the one below deck that secures the blade, right? It is, afterall,is the same bolt with spacers and washers in between so I'm guessing same torque.
Wondering what the consensus is in using anti-seize compound .on blade bolt. Never used it but considering.
Understand that you torque about 25% less if using it.
