I had this idea that since I only needed a tubing cutter for 10 or so cuts on some 3/4" EMT (Electrical Metal Tubing) that I would get a used one on eBay. Besides, old tools are made better... right. No plastic... right? O.K. so I lay out $8 including shipping. When it gets here and I take a look at it, I start wondering if I shouldn't replace the blade. I remove the screw and I can't get the old one out. I get the pliers and I still can't get it out. Am I being blonde or do these things not allow the blade to be replaced? (Prefer being blonde right now even if it makes me sound stupid). I decide that if I can find the replacement blade online that will tell me if it can be replaced. Can't find a replacement blade for a Chicago tubing or conduit cutter anywhere online. Please advise. Even if it's just to tell me I screwed up.

You didn't particularly screw up BUT, counting shipping you could probably get a new one at HD or Harbor Freight. Most neighborhood hardware stores would cut it for you at little or no cost, particularly if they cut and thread pipe. Doesn't look like the roller blade is replaceable on your model.
