This cuts the rivets and the section drops out. Then, take a hammer and hit the top thin back of the blade section (opposite the triangle end) a few good whacks. I keep a piece of railroad track about a foot long in the truck for this. The trick is to set the thin edge of the bar on the edge of a vise or anvil keeping the section free with the triangle part of the blade down and its back rested against the anvil. Once out, the changing of blade sections is a snap.
