*before attempting to remove the blade, be sure the power source is either unplugged (if corded) or removed (if battery). If this is a latch style reciprocating saw, after disengaging the latch, give the end of the blade a few sharp taps with a mallet or hammer. then attempt to remove the blade by gloved hand, or adjustable pliers. if the blade is at all damaged during this process, throw it away and use a new blade next time. The blade housing may need to be blown out with some compressed air and the latch mechanism may need some lubricant. Hope this help!
