Thanks for video!!! Before I watched it, I sharpened my blades and had them flipped the wrong way. It was hitting shroud inside. Made mower shake when starting and shutting down. Pay attention to how blades are orientated when replacing!!!!
12 point gives you better interface . Best way to measure center line points is burry an inch line the 1 " line to the far left of the left hole then measure to the far left of the right hole and thats an accurate way to measure and then subtract the 1" burrying the inch gives a better visual as those hook ends move for hooking a board or measuring wall to wall has to account for its width. Thaks hammer is great help
You should buy the blades designed for the specific mower. If your mower model number begins with HRR, buy the blade made for HRR machines. I think you installed a blade intended for the HRX model. I could be wrong but don’t think so. I know because I bought a used Honda mower which had the wrong blade on it. When I installed the correct blade it cut and operated much better with less clumping of grass against the inside mower deck. For the Hondas I believe there are three different blades available, each one specific to HRR, HRX etc models.
@@Archifx the point being you actually used the wrong tool. A 12 point 14 mm socket would work fine. When is the last time you saw a 12 point fastener? The 12 point socket is designed for ease of use, not 12 point bolt heads. Not being a dick, just kinda pointing that out.
Hello thanks for showing how to replace lawnmower blades it is easy I have one question I have two Honda lawnmower’s that run beautifully but one needs a new deck frame because of rust and holes but the mower is still runs like a champ How do I get a new lawnmower push deck frame? Do I go to Honda or the junk yard???
I have a 11 year old honda mower. Swapped the original blades last year with a legit honda blades. Installed and ran over the same yard, same few stumps but the mew blades got bent like they are made out of light aluminum. Tryinna find a replacement again.
Think I have a newer model than yours, hrn 216, only new mower I've ever bought but very disappointing in the way it cuts and pick up suction, seems like the blade was dull out of the box and has horrible debris pickup compared to every 10-year-old Craftsman I've ever owned. I was wondering if that two blade design was to fault? Some spots I have to go over three or four times to get all the grass to cut, like the grass is being cut with a 2x4 rather than a blade LOL. Otherwise I love the operation of it.
Nah. Make it more fun leaving it on. I want you to go and try for the next 10 years daily to start your mower without grabbing the engagement lever on the handle. Just keep pulling it. Tell me if it eventually starts.
That’s a good question. As I’m thinking about changing my own soon. Not sure if it’s cheaper to get the blades sharpened or just buy new ones. Good video though
It's like having a smart midwest neighbor! Here in Los Angeles, home of the handy-less, your help is greatly appreciated.
Nice video but i somehow doubt Honda uses a 9/16 bolt for the blades . If you cleaned up the bolt I would say it’s a 14mm.
I've seen on two UA-cam videos on blade removal referring to 9/16 however mine was 14mm as well.
It’s a 14
@user-jk7be1io3o it’s a what I say it is… did the wrench I used get it off?

Thank you, very helpful. Wasn't clear how many times to smash with hammer, but I figured it out.
Three yrs later 9/16 stiiiiil works. Amazing. Ty
Great video. The bolts are really tough to come out. Any suggestions for loosening bolts. Maybe WD-40?
So whats the blade difference? Does it cut better or something?
Thanks for posting like your right to the point style

Also you go on about the difference between 12 and 6 point sockets but use a bigger socket . Now that will round a bolt head.
Used a 6 p on that bolt

Thanks for the video. Great idea with the hammer. 👍

I got one with the blades installed backwards…didn’t cut…discovered the blades were backwards, flipped them around and it cuts great
I always take the dpark plug wire off before even lifting a lawnmower.
Call me paranoid but ive done that since before i went to small engines school.
thanks tor taking the time to make and post this video
I sharpen my blades every second mow, it doesn't take the long to run a file over the blades keep a good edge on them
Pull off the spark plug wire for safety before working on the blades.
Always pull plug wire!

@@Archifx 😂 Casper going to start it up
Thank you...great help.
Excellent video!
Did you have to completely empty your gas before tilting this in the manner you had it so it doesn't spill out?
No
Air filter up
That’s a good question. As I’m thinking about changing my own soon. Not sure if it’s cheaper to get the blades sharpened or just buy new ones. Good video though
Great video...does the hrx blade cut clean and mulches too...
Thanks for the tips!
I can't get my bolts to move . I tried replacing my blades today with a socket wrench and they won't move.
Thank you very informative
THANK YOU
...all I have to do is teach my wife to do it!
I use a big brick to wedge the blade. 😁
I use a 12in.2x4 =)
Where did u buy the blades home depo ?
Yes
Mine are completely seized cannot loosen these bolts for nothing
where to buy honda hrx 21 in mulching blade set in australia.
Rounded my
Bolt….
You really should have torqued those blades to the manufacturer’s recommendation. 🤔
Why? Millennial. My arms have the torque of 1000 men.
How do you get blades off if there stuck on real good
BFH
Electric or air impact gun with 14mm socket.
Put Anti-Seize on the Bolts...=)
Try a box end wrench and a rubber mallet
It's 14mm
yeah, 9/16 probably do it, but legit there isn’t an SAE fastener anywhere on these units. It’s a Honda.
Gets the job done either way. Torque in this bolt isn’t high enough for a difference to be critical
@@Archifx the hammer trick makes the video very useful, thanks for it.
So technically you don’t have to sharpen new blades?
No. Not these.
I really wish I would have watched this video before I changed mine.
Ob yea,now i can swap out my dull blades!
20 volt max impact bit adapter and a 9/16 socket and keep brake on. If your brake is shit then you could do that to lol

BJ 🤣
Great video!
