The first thing I would do is to spray the screws with a penetrating oil like PB Blaster. Let it set a while and try again.

Unplug the spark plug wire FIRST. DO NOT SKIP THAT. Then, WITH THE SPARK PLUG WIRE UNPLUGGED AND DISCONNECTED AND NOWHERE NEAR THE PLUG TIP, get a good sized stick, and try to turn the cutter wheel assembly in reverse. I suspect you have a piece of wood stuck in there, and it won't come loose unless you turn the thing backwards. You have to disconnect the spark plug because the engine could fire when you turn it. Even if it doesn't start, one good kick could hurt you pretty seriously. So, go unplug the spark plug and do your thing.
SOURCE: I have a yard machinne 6.5hp chipper/shredder -
The blade(s) should have usually two bolts on them depending how many blades you have. Mine only has one blade held on with two bolts and that is only on the side that cuts the larger branches up to two inches in diameter and should be sharpened on a grinding wheel because it has a specific angle to it. The other side that chips smaller branches and twigs it a type of flailer, meaning pieces of metal just swinging around to mash up the sticks and do not need sharpening.

This is the only source that I know of for the older chipper blades. Problem is you need to know the dimensions.
