I am trying to change the blades on my lawnmower. I have one of the
two bolts loosened but the other will not budge. I have tried WD 40
and silicone spray. I have used a ratchet set, a power crip pliers,
nothing seems to work, any tricks to remove this nasty thing. Thanks
in advance.


Heat the fastener til it's just starting to glow red, then use the
impact
driver. If you've oxy-acetylene, if all else fails, just burn it off.
Not
likely, in my experience. At worst, a few cycles of heat/impact.

Need I mention that you should drain the tank, and keep
extinguisher(s)
handy?
