The spindle supports the blades and works with the deck's pulleys and belts; a bent spindle, damaged spindle or worn bearings can affect blade rotation and cutting. Replacing the spindle or its bearings can restore deck operation. To hold the spindle while removing a blade, turn a blade removal tool's handle counterclockwise to loosen its clamp.

Place the stopping edge against the deck and the clamp over the blade end, then tighten the handle clockwise. Before repairs, park on a flat surface, engage the parking brake and remove the ignition key to help prevent accidental startup and injury.
