Question
how to remove blade adapter

Answer
Hello Tom:

The Following is a Basic Instruction File for Removing the Most Common/Standard Blade Adapters. Any Input is Appreciated. To Remove a Most Blade Adapters; Remove the Spark Plug and Blade. Replace the Center Bolt to Within 1/2" of the Bolt Head. Attach a 2 Jawed Puller to the Blade Adapter and Apply Pressure. Soak the Fit with Penetrating Oil and Allow to Set for a Few Minutes. Hit the Puller with a Hammer. If the Adapter Does Not Move, then Heat May have to be Applied to the Adapter to Make it Expand Away from the Crankshaft and then it will Slide Off the Crankshaft Using the Pulley Puller. If you have a Different Designed Blade Adapter, then Send me the Make, Model, Type/Spec and Code/Serial Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
