I have a 8000 grit replacement grindstone (from Woodcraft).
How do I remove the grindstone from the arbor so I can replace it?
When I try to loosen the nut, the entire arbor turns. If I hold onto the honing wheel, the honing wheel comes loose.
I removed the entire assembly, and I wasn't sure how to proceed. I can put a Vice Grip on the arbor and clamp really tightly, and try to loosen the nut, but I am concerned that I will chew up the smooth arbor.
I tried WD-40 on the nut to help, but it didn't.
Any suggestions?
Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm kind of computer illiterate, and got locked out of my own house! ;D
The best method to loosen the nut is shock, rather than smooth application of pressure. In other words, get a bigger hammer. Put a wrench on the nut and smack the other end of the wrench with a hammer a few times. The nut should come loose.
