The extra torque they can add will usually loosen even the most stubborn of bolts. If you’re having trouble budging the bolt with a regular socket wrench, try using an impact wrench instead. This should prevent the spindle from turning when removing your blade. If you’ve got a bigger deck, however, you may need to add an additional clamp onto the side of the deck to lock the wrench up against it. If you have a smaller deck, you may not need to do anything else, as the sides of the deck will lock the wrench in place. Make sure it’s locked on there tight, as you don’t want it slipping.
Once the pulley is out of the way and safely put to the side, clamp the spindle with the wide grip wrench. Trying to clamp the pulley is definitely not a good idea, as you’ll almost certainly end up damaging it, and then you’ll have a whole other problem to try and resolve. You’re going to want to remove the pulley from the spindle first though. The most obvious way to do that is by using a wrench and clamping it in some way. It’s clear that you need to secure the spindle in some way so that it is not able to spin. Here are a few ideas on how you might do that. With this issue, we need to stop the spindle from spinning so you can get enough torque on the blade bolt to remove it. This problem shouldn’t be confused with that of a lawn mower blade bolt that is stuck and won’t budge whatever you seem to do. It was amazing it could have stretched and distorted the threads so much while in place-never seen it to such a degree before in 60-something years.2 Final Thoughts How to Fix a Spindle that Turns When Removing Blades They're hardened, but I was really beginning to wonder before this one came out finally. In that case, you might consider taking it to the JD dealer simply to put the onus on them if twist one off. _IF_ (the proverbial big if) you have a good-size knick in the knives, that'd be a clue-I didn't recall hitting anything I thought was significant enough to have caused the problem but w/ that larger mower, sometimes you don't realize what you've gone over in heavy brush. As somebody else said, go to a six-point socket to minimize the likelihood of rounding them over 'cause if you do, you're toast. If it is this problem, the only real solution is bigger wrench. When it cools after a heat cycle it may help some. Heat/cool can help on this heat alone only makes this problem worse because it's a mechanical distortion problem and swelling the bolt by heating it only tightens it even further. Managed that w/ the outside blade on theħ2" deck last year took about a 4-ft cheater and initially bent a 1/2" small pry bar had used as the lock through the drive sprocket to hold it. It's possible you've stretched the bolts which has the effect of locking them in there like the blazes.
