- You aren't using a big enough wrench! Try using a 1/2 drive socket wrench and
- a good length breaker bar.

- Take heed!!! The threads have already been ruined. You will have to re-tap
- the spindle with a larger thread. The centerline of the new thread must be
- ABSOLUTELY inline with the axis of the spindle or the blade will wobble. If
- you don't have the tools/know-how/facilities to do this, maybe a local machine
- shop or community-college will help.
