Sorry but I'm confusing things a bit here (women and power tools
eh!). The
thing I mean is the tool thingy with the two little prongs on it. It
fits
on the opposite side to the the nut side and holds the plate still
whilst
you turn the nut on the opposite side.

Can't you just remove the blade guard and clamp the blade between a
couple of bits of timber with a G-clamp to hold it still?

If you try that, two extra suggestions:

Make sure the bits of wood miss the blade's teeth, or you may squeeze
the teeth in a bit and reduce the "set".

Give the spanner on the outside nut a sharp tap rather than a steady
push.

Depending on the size, number of teeth, etc, it may be worth having your
old blade reground and re-tensioned by a specialist firm. If it was a
good quality blade to start with, it can be much cheaper than a new
blade of similar quality, even if it's a tipped blade and needs a few
new tips.
