Nut on angle grinder stuck

[Rat]

Most of the time I can just grab a spent disc with a gloved hand and crank the arbor loose.
IDK what he dipped that thing in, or if he tighted it on with a jackhammer, but I'm still waiting to see if he got it loose or not

Since there is a rumbling clamour of interest in how this worked out, I can update. The stuck wheel on the Ryobi AG got used up and eventually destroyed. The nut is still on there and the tool is under the workbench. May turn it into a fixed tool of some kind, maybe a spindle sander. The tool was replaced with a superior DeWalt version and we are living happily ever after. The end.

Quitter!

That is until Damnwalt craps out. I have had a string of failures with the yellow stuff. I've switched brands so I can live happily ever after.
Hopefully your luck will be mo bedder.

Never had issues with DeWalt corded tools.

Dewalt tools eat brushes. Stopped buying them.

I am not exalting DeWalt, but there is no argument that it is a superior tool to the Ryobi. That's all.

I'm hesitant to say I'm impressed with the Ryobi ONE+ series so far. The batteries are stupid expensive but overall they're proving themselves slowly.

We could get into a big debate about power tools. But fact is this one is better in this regard that one is better is a different respect, the other one has a better price. Just get the one you prefer, they all fail eventually.

If going to bust a nut off on grinder, make sure to wear proper protection.

Pipe wrench, vise on a table, and remove the safety cover. That is the very first thing I do with a new grinder . If the wheel lock mechanism stops working you can take a Philips screwdriver put it in the slot the button came out of and a pipe wrench. It will come off if you get pissed off enough at it.

I think we need a demonstration, good sir.

I'm not sure if they still sell them, but a got an angle grinder .....tool- (wrench)..... at Harbor Freight for taking off the grinding wheels.
And it works GREAT, I have about 4 grinders and has never failed me yet.
