I had never heard of Magna, so I took off down the rabbit hole with Mr Google. It certainly appears that Magna was the forerunner of Shopsmith.  The saw dates back to the 50's and it looks like there were multiple sizes.  A 10", 9" and an 8".  According to this little tidbit I found it appears that the arbor comes off.  Then the blade is removed from the arbor.  The selling point was a quick change blade.  Various blades mounted on different arbors.

Scroll down and there is a description on the lower right.

Anybody have a 8 inch Magna table saw?  As you know Magna was the one who brought out Shopsmith 

 I ve changed a lot a table saw blades but never seen anything like this 

 One side of the blade has  a smooth washer with nowhere to grip a wrench 

 The other side has twin flats on the shaft for a wrench and a huge nut up against the blade  I have tried the obvious and put wrenches on both without luck .

 Afraid to apply any more force for fear of saw shaft destruction .

 Any ideas ?

 Have applied WD 40 to try loossen things up
 
 Thank you
