thanks islesurfer. i think my misunderstanding was "loosen" and dismember.

Sorry I came in late. hose usually have to be taken apart to replace blade.
Glad you got it fixed.

i am not sure if i did this the "carpenter's" way but i finally changed it. this is 2 hours of my life i will never get back.
i took "loosen" to mean just make it loose. as i have never used one of these before i was afraid to loosen too much. i decided to just go for it and i removed the entire handle. everything came apart and i was able to put the finer blade in. new blade is in and facing the right direction.

well let me explain, there are 2 levers on the outside on each end of the saw frame, are those supposed to loosen also? i thought those were supposed to change the direction of the blade

why on earth do they call it a coping saw? there's no coping with it.
should be labeled:
I am going to pull my hair out saw
Getting on my last nerve saw
Frustration saw
anyway, i am trying to learn this new skill because i need to cope a piece of shoe molding. i can not figure out how to change the blade to a finer one.
do the pins on the ends come out or just the blade? i loosened the handle but that's as far as i can get. is the blade supposed to come out of those slots in the pins?
any help is greatly appreciated
