Paz, I had to gently "message" the replacement blade with the bench grinder in order to accomodate the width. I have the same style arm as you describe. Not a problem and they work really well, at less than half price of original blades. Some Wally Worlds also carry replacement inserts for original equipment blades, unfortunatly our local store does not. Also I went with 2 inch longer blades than stock.

Thanks for the reply. That was the problem I found - the width. I ended up removing the rivet entirely. So far, so good. Time will tell if this makes them too flimsy or not. CW wants $32 each and NAPA wants $40. So I figured at $9 from Wally World, it was worth a try to modify them. I kept the original blades and if the new ones don't work out, I will remove the rubber inserts and put them in the old blades.
