Title: How to remove blade when washers spin
Product review: I have been overall very pleased with this mower. However, when I recently tried to remove the blade, the washers broke away from the blade and spun around so the nut could not be loosened. I tried everything I could think of without success. Finally I called Black and Decker and was transferred to their local repair center. The person I talked to there said to bring it to a car garage and have them take the nut off with their air impact wrench. I took his advice and sure enough, the nut popped right off. Upon removing the blade I discovered the culprit was the plastic blade insulating washer. As it wears out it allows the blade to slip when you try to remove the nut that holds it in place. Horrible design by B&D. The best thing to do is order a replacement insulating washer-the part number is 241381-01. Overall nice mower, but poor blade fastener design.
