rope tip

If the crank is rotating when you are trying to remove the big nut to remove the blade remove the spark plug and put rope into the cylinder until the crank will not rotate.

Why not just spend the $10 on the blade removal tool.

Or use a chunk of 2x4 to hold the blade.

Just thinking the string in the cylinder to jam the piston can not be good for the engine.

A metal tool is sold to replace the spark plug to stop the piston.

Why would you risk doing damage to the piston?

It's never good to use the piston to stop a engine from turning.

I know guys on here put a string in the cylinder and that's not good but to put metal tool in to stop the piston could put a hole in it

The metal tool is recommends by the manufacture.

Good for them I still would not use it

The metal tool is supplied in special tool box by certain manufacturers.

Different size for different plug holes.

The rope trick is still the best idea.

I still say it is better for the engine just to hold the blade from moving when removing the blade nut or bolt.

Less wear on the internal engine parts and a whole lot faster and easier than pulling the plug and inserting a foreign object

Sometimes when you are reinstalling the blade adapter and you try to tighten the nut the adapter just spins so you need to stop the crank from rotating.
