Hi, there don't seem to be exact instructions online anywhere, but typically what you need to do is remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug, turn the mower on its side with the air filter facing up, then carefully remove the nut holding the blade. Once you have the blade off, the debris shield is probably held on by one or two more nuts -- remove those and it should come right off.
