I was kind of looking forward to using a fairly high ramp, but when it got
down to it, my neighbor's long handled wrench did the trick. I did get it
up on an 8" slanted ramp, and with some fooling around while lying on one's
back, and using a 2x4 to make sure the blade didn't move, off it came.
Actually, there were two blades--to my surprise. The blades are now off
getting sharpened.

As someone else pointed out, it's easy to put them back on improperly. For
that reason, and for convenience, I bought a second set of blades, so when
it's sharpening time I take the dull pair off and immediately put the
sharpened ones on. Then I can sharpen the removed blades at my convenience.
It's half as much work because the hardest part is getting the dang thing up
high enough to work on the blades, and this way I only have to do it once.
