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 may work. OA torch, or small propane torch. Get a Vise Grip on there
first, set really tight. Remove Vise Grip, and heat until you think it will
let loose. Put Vise Grip on and say a little prayer.
Other than that, if it is configured right, you could grind the bolt head
off flush, and have enough of the shaft sticking out once you pull the blade
off. But you'd want to make damn sure first that you're going to have
enough bolt shaft left to stick out and get ahold of with a Vise Grip or
similar tool.
