I have a tile saw: the blade is held in place by a hexagonal nut~3/4" bearing on a flange that secures the blade. On top of this hexagonal nut there is a smaller nut, which has 2 flat opposing surfaces. (see picture).
The blade is stuck and I do not understand the engineering of the bolts. Is the uppermost small nut with the flat opposing surfaces a locking nut? Right now the nuts are stuck fast and I cannot liberate them in order to fit a new blade.
Since I do not understand the engineering I do not know how best to approach liberating the blade. I have tried WD40. Please can I be advised as to how to best move forward.
