I use my HF 1" drive impact (2200 Lb Ft torque) to break and replace them. Stout impact socket also required.

Just replaced mine yesterday. Started out just going to sharpen but when I saw how bad they were I went to plan B. Had a spare set I bought from Messicks a few years ago. Big difference. Doable with one person and a good sized impact. Soaked them with penetrating fluid for 20 min before attempting. Took a few minutes to break free and get the keyed bolt to back out from below. All in all once I had the correct sized socket, it took maybe 35 minutes. Very little vibration now and cuts great. Be prepared that sockets this size are 3/4 drive. Would love a larger impact gun but for the amount I would use it, doesn’t make sense to spend the cash. Did a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter which worked. Rural king had what I needed to get it done. I should have done a side by side comparison but one of the old blades was worn over a 1/4 inch more than the other and both were down about a half inch from new
