Hi Jon,

You are correct—it is anti-clockwise (lefty-loosey) to release the blade nut on a Frisky Fox.

A few tips to help:

1. Safety First: Ensure the spark plug lead is disconnected before you put your hands near the blade.

2. Leverage: Use a long-handled wrench or a "breaker bar" if you have one; the extra leverage is usually more effective than soaking it in oil.

3. Block the Blade: Wedge a thick block of wood between the blade and the mower deck to stop the blade from spinning while you apply pressure to the nut.

If it still won't budge, a quick sharp tap on the end of the wrench with a hammer can sometimes help "shock" the bolt loose.

Best regards Mark
