Replacement
1. Remove blades using an air-impact wrench or breaker bar and multiplier.
2.
Remove dust and debris from blade seats; wipe down with a rag and solvent.
3.
Lightly file deformities from blade seat edges. Do not sand or grind face of blade seats.
4. Install new, clean blades. Lubricate the threaded holes in the blade and on the bottom of the
bolt head where it will contact the blade.
5.
Snug lubricated blade bolts by hand to hold them in place; push blades up and into the upper
and rear surfaces of the seats.
6.
Torque bolts to 1/3 of the final torque value.
7.
Check for firm contact against blade seats.
8.
With a feeler gauge, confirm there is a gap where the
blades meet. Gap width by model is shown below the
graphic to the right. A very narrow gap may be confirmed
by shining a flashlight from below the blades and seeing
light pass through. If the gap exceeds the specified limit,
call the Genesis Service Department. If no gap exists,
remove blades, lightly grind facing surfaces and repeat
steps 5-8.
9.
Torque bolts to 2/3 final value, and then to final value,
using a cross bolt pattern.

Correct clamping force is required to keep tips from moving on their seats. Over-tightening can
cause bolt shanks to stretch, losing their clamping force. Loose bolts will cause the seating areas
to erode.
Piercing blade bolts must be lubricated and torqued as
specified in the Genesis Fastener Manual.
