How to Remove the Blades From a Briggs Mower
The blade on a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower will need sharpening or replacement as it wears down from use. To sharpen a lawn mower blade, it must be removed from the lawn mower first.
Briggs & Sratton lawn mowers vary in dimensions and design, but the removal of the lawn mower blade for each model requires following the same procedures.
-
Disconnect the sparkplug wire. Tip the lawn mower onto its side so you are facing the blade.
-
Place a block of wood against the blade to keep it from rotating. Remove the bolt in the middle of the blade with the socket wrench by turning it counterclockwise.
-
Pull the blade straight out from the mower to remove it.
Things You Will Need
- Socket wrench
- Block of wood
Tip
Wear thick gloves when removing a lawn mower blade to protect your hands from injury.
