How the heck do you get this thing out?

[UMDSportsman]

I haven't had to pull mine out because it is new last year, but here are a couple ideas. Take the blades off so you don't cut yourself. Take the bolt out. Try a pliers, vice grips, channel locks, etc to pull it out. If that doesn't work, it looks like the whole shaft is hollow, so take it off the power head and try to find something long and straight enought to fit down the shaft to push it out. Try a small fence post, piece of rebar, etc. Just a few thoughts to try.

look for a set screw that locks in in place. I would think that would be one.

I've already got that bolt out. There's nothing else to remove but the blade.

Sounds like time to break out the vice grips It must be frozen in there. I think a twist should break it free.
