josieh, were you able to fix this? Just asking, as I've had a similar problem recently (once again!) and came across this topic.

This, and also once I've also put the nut back on with the wrong side. Both sides are threaded, but only one side of the nut makes it fit properly.

Had this two-blades situation too, be super careful when checking to stay safe as it's so easy to cut your finger (been there, got some stitches). The oil on the blades usually makes it hard to separate them, so I used a pin to separate them.
