How to hold the wheel on grinder to loosen nut

To hold the wheel on a Craftsman grinder to loosen the nut, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the grinder: Always disconnect power before working on the tool.

2. Locate the spindle lock: Most Craftsman grinders have a spindle lock button, usually on the top or side near the wheel. Press and hold this button to prevent the spindle from turning.

3. Secure the wheel: While holding the spindle lock, use a wrench (often included with the grinder) to turn the nut counterclockwise. If no wrench is available, use an adjustable wrench that fits the nut.

4. If no spindle lock: If your model lacks a spindle lock, carefully use locking pliers to hold the wheel's flange or use a strap wrench. Take care not to damage the wheel.

5. Loosen the nut: Turn the nut counterclockwise to loosen. If it's tight, tap the wrench gently with a rubber mallet to help break it loose.

Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling grinder parts.
