many thanks for all your suggestions and help its much appreciated, think im leaning towards the welding method, at least ill try that first. I will let you know if I manage to free them Rich

thanks for the replys. I used torque wrench to set the nuts and copper ease on the threads. Was thinking myself about trying welding a nut or bar onto the nuts or the drilling method. One other thing I was thinking about was to cut or chisel a grove into the nuts and then try and free them by hitting them round with a chisel or srewdriver ??

Hi everyone. trying to change blades on our timberwolf 150 but have got two star nuts that just will not budge. Have tried all sorts including heating them, impact driver, hitting them etc but no joy and have to say they are now pretty mashed up. So just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or knows of any solutions. any help much appreciated. Rich
