    Whats happened is you have broken the key in the blade adapter...they are designed to break in an event like this... remove blade and blade adapter and you will notice a grove about 4mm wide and another grove in blade spindle...the key will be a semi circle or long rectangle shape piece of steel which will lock blade adapter to blade spindle...no big deal as they are only a few euros to replace....when removing blade bolt note that the bolt always tightens towards the cutting edge of the blade so on the right hand side of your mower as your sitting on it, to remove the blade bolt it will (normally) righty losey instead of lefty losey ;) ..
