    (SOMETIMES) if you try to TIGHTEN the nut and then turn it counter clockwise that works.

    I'm rebuilding an old mower deck with new mandrels, spindles, pulleys and belts. It's really wore out like most mower decks get over time and I don't think any of the bolts except the bolts that fasten the blades to the spindles have ever been removed. I knew about heating nuts or bolts to loosen the really tight stuff but your tip on the using map gas is a keeper! Good job...good video.. I could hear you really well.. you explained things really clearly and you had good camera angles we could see exactly what you were doing and those are what make the best diy 'How To' videos. Thanx, 👍 p.s I subscribed. ✅

    This worked great! Used a propane torch for 2-3 minutes a bolt, all 3 came off with impact wrench. Then ran blades afterwards. TY!

    If I have a Ferris mower with bolts instead of nuts, holding the blades, will heating it work the same? I’m thinking if it seized, it will; however, if it’s strictly to expand the nut, so it is looser, wouldn’t that have the opposite effect if I’m heating the bolt?

    • @IndRepair
      @IndRepair  5 месяцев назад +1

      Many times the temperature difference between the two will free them but not nearly as effective, no

    I am having issues getting the top nut off my middle spindle of an exmark. The nut holding the blade just spins. When I put a wrench on the bottom nut and use a cordless socket wrench on the top it just loosens the bottom nut. Any suggestions?

    • @IndRepair
      @IndRepair  Год назад

      You should be able to hold onto the top pulley and use an impact to get it off. Sometimes you can get a pipe wrench under the pulley to grip part of the spacer on the shaft if you need something to hold it

      Yeah sometimes a bigger impact works but in many cases even with the larger one (we have a Dewalt with 1,200 ft-lbs breakaway torque we use often with difficult nuts) you will have to use heat to break free the rusting together the two have done

      Many times the temperature difference between the two massively expanding/contracting will loosen it up
