New blades rc1260

[Poohbear]

Any pro tips on getting those blade bolts off without haveing to spend big bucks for special tools . I have the big socket but only a 1/2 in elec impact & breaker bar& pipe .I've coated bolts/nuts with PB blaster & let soak over night . Won't budge. Should I just go get a good air impact ?

How about renting the tools? A local rental shop may have the larger tools you need,

The last time I replaced my blades, I used a 3/4 drive breaker bar with a cheater pipe.

If you were closer to me, I would let you borrow my 3/4 inch drive tools.

I used a 5:1 torque multiplier for mine

I used a 5:1 torque multiplier for mine

Like the ones used for removeing lug nuts ?
I see one on Northern tool that will go like 3250 ft lbs of torque for $80 & I can get it by wed if ordered today
My impact specs says 900ftlb of breakaway but those nuts just dont budge

Yep, torque multiplier. Also adapter for socket size or buy new socket to match multiplier.

Works to torque correct installation too, which is important.

Additionally for repairs in field without power or air compressor.
