Picture?

Impact driver ?
try breaking the fixing free by tightening a little first
then into drill head off and replacing

As VTC says, an impact driver, tightening first, or if you haven't got an impact driver, a hex bit of the right size held in a ring spanner, then whilst tightening it as much as you dare, hit the end of the bit with a hammer.

motor went whiney then bang typically no longer available so got equivalent macallister 2400 which.... has a single blade rather than 2 small blades so will see how this goes got £10 discount as bandq member and has lasted over a year
