When you try to remove lawn mower blades from the deck they rotate, which can be dangerous, especially with a multi-blade deck.
To prevent the blade from moving, I flattened one end of a 12-in. long, 2-in. dia. pipe so that it fits over one end of the blade and against the mower’s discharge chute. It keeps the blade from rotating so that the retaining bolt can be safely removed. (Richard Zigler,
