Trying to change the blade but having no luck!

It's been in soak for a week, got all the crap off the blade and handle but it just won't budge.
I've broke the blade trying to pull it out with pliers so no good now either way!

The end caps are long gone so I haven't been a dumbass and left them on, or is there something else I've forgot?

Bit of sandtrax or other brick cleaner in the water. Handles will be like new as well

Had the same problem just wouldn't shift caused that much damage just bought a new one made sure we put tape between the blade and the handle hopefully that'll help for next time
 
Same happened to me I took a plumbers blow torch to it, a bit smokey but it came out in know time.lol
 
We've got a 1200 blade to replace..great..i thought there just slid out havnt tried it yet as havnt been skimming really but bought 2 new blades a couple weeks ago..u manage to get it out jgreen?
 
A pair of water pump pliers a hammer and a block of wood. Grip the blade with the pliers and then hit them with the hammer to slide it out takes time but will get it done. So the lesson i learned was only ever use a bucket of clean water to clean your speed skim (y)

It's been there a week!!! I've done my first one last week but didn't need to change the blade so just soaked that. This one is one of my lads and it's been in soak a week now! I tried earlier and I've broken the blade so has to come out regardless now or can't be used!!

The only way we got ours out was by putting the blade in a vice and use a mallet to gently wack the end of the alloy section. Didn't do any damage Also left in soak overnight beforehand . But the new blades make life much easier
