You are asking a whole lot of questions. Here is a video to show you sharpening but you need to go on Utube and look around at other videos. Some of them are pretty good but you will need to watch and get comfortable with what you are jumping into. When a mower is set up correctly it is almost magical how nicely they work. I actually built my own knife. Bought the strap steel piece and then took the old one and used it as a template for drilling the holes. Hours of work so be patient. To know your clips are adjusted correctly, if you lift up and down when 5he blade is within the guard, the knife should touch the guard plate on a knife section it should just barely wiggle up and down. Watch this video and then watch about a dozen more. With this video he is riviting from the top down. I did mine bottom up. He also needs a BIGGER hammer. You should be able to crown a rivet in five or six hits. Don't get frustrated because you will not believe how nicely the mower will work when done. Best thing of all is if you can find an old owners manual. They usually are very thorough on how to do it.
