After discing for awhile today I noticed between two of the disc blades I was plugged up. After clearing the mess I noticed that the disc blades are now loose on the axle. There are two nuts on the ended of the axle. I loosened the lock nut and attempted to tighten the inner nut. It seems tight. Plus I can't seem to figure out how to hold the axle and tighten the nut. The axle seems to be inside some spacers. I had a pipe wrench on one of the spacers and tightened the nut as tight as I could and the discs are still loose. Any ideas on how to hold the axle from turning so I can jump on the wrench to try to tighten the nut tighter? It was getting dark so I couldn't see exactly what I am up against. Is it possible that I've bottomed out on the threads and need to put a washer on for a spacer?
I suppose I could lower the entire disc down on a block of wood under one of the disc plates on that axle to see if that would keep it from turning while I attempt to tighten the nut.
