Instructions fail at step #5. Bottom-left screw is under the plastic blade guard which blocks removal of the screw. Blade guard covers the screw no matter how it’s positioned.

If you wiggle the plastic you can remove

I was able to remove… be patient it does work

Instructions also fail at step #6. I have no idea how to remove the plastic blade guard from the axle so I can transfer it to the new (replacement) blade guard.

I also was struggling… … but if you look closely there is a thin metal ring around the center plastic ring that the spindle runs through… this has a split in it…. I used a small flat Precision screwdriver (type used to tighten reading glasses,etc)and was able to pry at the split and remove the thin metal ring.

Once removed this frees the plastic guard and it drops right out.

Just reverse to reassemble.

This works… just be patient
