If you use rope, be sure the piston is above the top edge of the exhaust port before you put the rope through the spark plug hole. If the exhaust port is open, the rope can go through it and get caught in the port and be pinched by the upcoming piston. This can cut and damage the rope causing rope fibers to lodge between the piston and cylinder. I always fold the rope and put the loop in. This keeps the ends of the rope out of the cylinder, with less chance for rope fragments coming loose. To get the flywheel nut or clutch off (Stihl), you can leave the spark plug in and use the compression as a buffer to allow safe removal with a socket and impact wrench. Just blip the impact, don't hold the trigger down. This is especially important when removing the clutch. If you are powering the clutch off, when it gets above the level of the chain brake loop, the centrifugal force will cause the shoes and springs to go flying across your shop. I learned this at the school of experience. When putting the assemblies back on, I don't use an impact - I go with the rope trick and torque wrench. I think rope is better than piston stops because the pressure is put on a very small area with a stop, but rope offers a larger area and more give.

Hey thx
So good to see a person just get to the point and do the job rather than blowing there own horn and fucking around for 20 mins or longer. I'll subscribe to you now. Better than any guys I've seen..

Thank you so much for this video! They were going to charge $160 to replace the clutch on our Stihl ms180c. I watched your video, bought a $35 part, and had it done in under 30 minutes!!!

Before I saw your excellent video, this project was daunting and scary. But your description is so clear and logical that I feel much more confident now. Thanks!

I needed to remove the clutch/drum sprocket to get the bar/oiler plate off, so this video was helpful. Thanks!

Thank you. Stihl MS271 clutch replaced and purring. I used a new pair of shoe strings and tied a few knots in them for strength. Saw started and cutting nicely again. Thank you.

Hey Bre. Old video, but I used this completely today to give my tree company saws a good cleaning and referred to this for reassembly and how the washers face. Thank you!!

Now if I'm outta line please tell me, or cuss me if you want. But on the Husqvarna instead of a screwdriver to knock the clutch loose wouldn't a drift or a brass rod be better. Hitting a flat blade screwdriver tends to get klutzy Scotsmen into trouble, or at least a trip to the first aid box. Another good show Chicka spreading the knowledge.

To those people put there looking to diy replace their clutch or sprocket, replace the bearing at the same time. Cheap insurance. Good video.

[therman]

Thank you. This is what is wrong with my Stihl and after watching this, I will be fixing it myself.

[vvjkumar]

Love how you show EVERYTHING!! Real world.

Thanks for this…I just swapped out a weak stock oil pump with a OEM high output one, and needed to get past the clutch to do so. Liked and subscribed.

[joshuamccord]

Thank you so much for the wonderful broadcast, I had been wondering of how to get the clutch off and check to see why my chain saw wasn't oiling, and thanks to you and you're wonderful channel I got it figured out, and also am a brand new subscriber to you're wonderful channel!
May God bless you always my sister in Christ.

Good idea never thought about putting a rope in the cylinder 🍀✅

[jeffmonroe]

Glad I'm not the only one that works on dirty saws. Get the repair done then deep clean on saw that seems to work best for me. Another great video keep em coming, we'll keep watching!!!

I just did this a week ago on my Husky 455 Rancher saw, just to find out EXACTLY what the problem was, now, I know. I gotta get a new sprocket, and replace it. But, this video is how I learned to do this. Dirt simple, great job!

[rickstid-bits]

Once again . . . you're awesome! I just did all the maintenance on my Husqvarna 350 EPA including removing and greasing the needle bearing. Thank you! Rick
