Default Changing Blades on John Deer Riding Lawnmower

I am having problems getting the blades off of my John Deer Model
GT235 (three blades). Is there some special instructions that I need
to know. Are the bolts right-threaded or left-threaded? Is there a
special lock I need to engage to put on the blades? Thanks


Best bet for removing mower blades is an impact wrench. Use air or
electric, both work well and are much safer than blocking blades and
struggling with breaker bars. The pros at the mower shop hold the
blades with bare hands when using an impact, not at the sharpened end,
of course.
