I inherited a used bread machine pan from a somewhat older B&D Breadmaking
machine (Don't know the model and the original owner of the machine isn't
around), and I can't remove the blue mixing blade from the shaft. It's been
oiled, and soaked in water, though there never appeard to be anything
sticking to it. Then I looked at the blade top more carefully, and instead
of a half moon hole at the top of the blade (where it fits onto the shaft
(the shaft, also usually with a half moon shape, but I can't tell this
time), there's a small diagonal cutting accross the half moon on the blade,
as if to prevent it from removal. Has anyone heard of non-removable bread
machine blades/paddles before?
This one has me stumped, because no amt. of force will remove it, unlike
other ones that will come up with a good soaking. The blade rotates just
fine, BTW, so again, I'm thinking this is a permanent blade. Thanks for any
info.
