What GENIUS engineer designed the get up that holds the blades on the ZD1211..... I have had mine for 4 years and EVERY single time I change the blades I think about posting this rant.

Instead of having a 30 MM bolt that holds the blade on. Or a shaft that you slide a blade over and a 30 MM NUT that hoids the blade on..... You Genius slugs had to design the absolute most confounding get up. A bearing cover that goes on first, a cup, the blade, a spacer assembly and finally a bolt. All of this crap comes off every time you swap the blades..... It's damn near impossible to hold all that stuff up there with ONE hand....Whilst you try to center and start the bolt that holds it all...... Sheesh you made an easy job difficult.....
