Wear appropriate safety equipment. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations (such as remove spark plug wire) before trying to remove the mower blade. If a riding mower, raise the deck to the highest position (with 4 inches or so space under the outer edge of the deck you should have room to work). Place the tool (1) over the blade (2) allowing the stopping edge (3) to be installed on the outside edge of the mower deck. The retaining bolt (4) MUST be installed at this point. Now the blade can be loosened by first rotating it until the tool is solidly against an obstruction on the mower deck such as a wheel mount. When the blade can no longer move, apply as much force as needed to loosen blade nut or bolt. You can now change the mower blade or sharpen the mower blade.
To re-install blade, simply turn blade (2) and this tool (1) in the opposite direction as it was in taking it off. Allow device to again rotate slowly and strike mower deck obstruction securely. Tighten mower blade retaining nut or bolt to the manufacturer’s specification.
TIP: The product features a heavy powder coated finish which protects the tool and minimizes any scratching of the mower surface. If you are concerned about possibly damaging the finish on your mower you can apply a piece of duct tape on the stopping edge (3). Typically you can install the tool on the underside of the deck as shown below.
