try and unbolt that bolt and the whole blade just keeps spining.

I just had this problem with my Skil Saw. The problem ended up being that
I had a blade that was too thick in it. This caused the washer to spin
because it could not engage the square nut that just protrudes past the
blade. The solution was to use a chisel to pry the washer a bit and keep
it from spinning. Bolt came off easily after. btw: I find that using a
large vicegrip works well to hold the blade from turning.
