New blades on the brush cutter today

I use this little Fred Cain five footer to dress up the trails and food plots. Runs smooth with no vibration. New blades went on today and I can tell I'm getting old. It took an eight foot cheater on the 3/4 breaker bar to crack the pin bolts loose. I was sure I was gonna snap that breaker bar but nope! it survived to break again another day.
Mission accomplished.

Same project here today but on my 5' Frontier RC2060.

Three quarter inch ratchet and extension loosened the bolts but did need about 18" of pipe. No need to get out impact wrench.

Once nuts and washers removed the bolts dropped out upon shaking the blades.

The bolts were as new so I did not change them.
