I use a silicone gun to fill the bolt heads with white silicone which saves alot of time picking the crap out.The silicone comes out easily with a pin or similar and prevents the bolts rounding.

That's a great tip - I'm definitely going to try it!

 

I never bothered locking the tw flywheels when I used to change the blades, the socket used to lock against the flywheel housing and prevent everything spinning around. Definitely lift the roller box out of the way - the prussic technique works very well for stretching awkward springs out of the way. When re-assembling, don't be shy with the copper grease, replace any bolts with any evidence of damage to the heads, and use a torque wrench (do not tighten everything until you fart). Future blade changes should subsequently be a piece of cake!

When you lift up the top roller, slap a load of grease on the up/down roller housing. Near springs
