Hello,
I'm trying to service my Hayter self-propelled mower. I want to be able
to get the blade off by unscrewing the nut underneath. unfortunately it
has been put on too tight by one of those machines they use. I've
trawled the DIY shops, but have been unable to get anything that will
do
the job. A simple sprocket set just isn't strong enough- I need a
machine!
They must be available somewhere, but I need to know what they are
called and where I can get one.
Thanks.


How about a Socket Wrench Breaker
bar?http://lmgtfy.com/?q=socket+wrench+breaker+bar

Absolutely. And if that doesn't do it slip a 3' piece of pipe over
the breaker bar handle.

Don't know the name of it and it's out in the workshop under tons of other
stuff, but there is a spray can of something, it foams when applied, and
you soak the culprit overnight. The next morning you can almost loosen the
thing with your fingers. If you want I'll try to find my can and give you
the name.

PB Blaster?
