I almost messed this one up! Wrenching on the Batwing..oopsy!

What happens here

Once an old blade and its pin are removed, clean the pin thoroughly with a shop rag to remove any dirt, grease, or rust. This ensures smooth operation and proper fit for the new blade. If there are shims present with the old blade assembly, note their placement and ensure they are reused with the new blade if required for proper spacing and alignment.

Goal: Ensure pins are clean and shims are accounted for

Tools and materials

  • Old Blade Pin Woods — To be cleaned and reused with the new blade
  • Grease — Lubricating the pins before reinstallation
  • Shop Rag — Wiping down the blade pins
