The clue that I picked up is the "light coat of oil" you put on this a NO
NO! the oil has worked up on to the blade washer preventing it fom the
friction that it need to drive the blade or let you remove the nut buy just
holding the blade.. After you remove the blade, clean the arbor blade
washers and the blade it self . if the blade slips when you try to remove
it i will slip in heavy cuts

I have recently been putting my Grizz to work after buying it in
December.

I was looking to change the blade and used the enclosed wrench to try to
remove the nut holding it on so I could get the blade off.

I had installed the blade in December when assembling the saw and put a
light coat of oil on the large nut that holds the blade collar on the
arbor.

I looked through the owne's manual but did not see anything mentioned to
use to change blades other than the wrench mentioned above.

While slightly turning the nut I noticed I was also turning something
else on the arbor on the other side of the blade.

Is there some secret to getting the #@%^& blade off the arbor? I
changed blades many times on my old saw and never had a problem.

Is there some sort of gizmo that would make it easier?

Thanks,
