Japa saw blade nut hell

[baz]

I've managed to find a company that'll do left hand thread M27 nuts at a good price so I'm going to try one last thing to get the nut off. Buying in half nuts and full nuts so that I can use two half nuts on the end of the shaft with the inner one acting as a lock nut and then look to lever an adjustable on the retaining nut against a bar and socket on the lock nut.

 

If that fails I'll just get to grinding away and use one of the full nuts I'm buying in. The residual (minimum order 10 nuts) will be going up for sale on Ebay. Fuelwood charge £11 + VAT + carriage per nut so may even get to cover my costs.

Personally I would buy the correct nut every time.

The reason it was so tight is that you spent two days trying to get it off before you found out it was left hand thread.

 

You were the ones who tightened it.

Ended up having to grind the nut off it was never going to budge. At least the saga is over!
