I have had to replace 2 spindles. Not fun. The second one I just replaced , the screws came loose and the mower blade bent.So I go to take off the blade, it comes loose but not out entirely. I have tried putting pressure on the bolt to ease it off. . If the spindle now has the bolt hole stripped, it will have to be replaced. But I can't get the spindle off unless I get that blade and holding screw off. Any ideas how I can get that dang bolt off to take the blade off? Have tried pliers. By the way, the screws holding the spindle were not self tapping and I didnt realize I needed to put liquid lock washer on them. Thabks for any ideas! lee
