The newer 1/4" impact drivers have enough power to remove lawn mower blades. I used my 1/4" to remove lug nuts on my truck a while back.

As for changing the blade, I would use a torque wrench to install it to the proper torque value outlined in the owner's manual. Typically it's somewhere around 40-50 foot/lbs. An impact wrench can easily put 200 ft/lbs of torque on that nut and that's WAY too tight. A nut that tight is not good for the engine.
