Hello!
First of all, I apologize that this is not a lawn mower, and this is the lawn mower forum, but this forum's helped me out so much in the past and I don't really feel like looking for a 'leaf blower forum.' I'm trying to take apart this old blower that I got a couple days ago. I had to take off the pull starter, and unfortunately during this process I managed to completely destroy the pawl catcher (part 32 in the picture above). To take it off and put on a new one, I have to take off the bolt holding it on (part 37), but the crank just spins when I try to loosen the bolt. Since the pawl catcher is broken off there is nothing for me to grab to jam the crank from spinning.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
