I DO like that rope trick! A very slick way to not bust stuff up. Also turn it clockwise . Looked at one of my McCullochs. For the saw to "pull" the chain in the correct direction it must turn clockwise. The nut is LEFTHAND thread so it will tighten as the saw runs. Jeff

Thanks guys for helping me out. I'm in Florida and my chain saws are in NY.

You are correct about the left hand thread requiring a CLOCKWISE twist to get it off - SORRY!

And I was thinking about the flywheel and starter side of the saw obviously. Les' picture reminded my of a old socket that I modified to remove the clutch.

Together, we got it right!!

Thanks!

Remove the spark plug. Turn over the engine until the piston is in the down position. Feed a 1/4" nylon rope into the cylinder through the spark plug hole until it will take no more. Put a socket on the hex nut holding the clutch assembly on the saw and turn it counter-clockwise (left hand threads). Give it a quick sharp blow if it resists.

The rope will cushion the piston as it holds the piston and crankshaft to allow you to turn off the nut.

Reverse the procedure to re-attach.

If its left hand thread, wouldn't you want to turn it to the right (CW) to remove it, and to the left (CCW) to tighen it??

Thanks alot, I believe I have the right idea, there is no hex nut though just the clutch assembly, it may need a special tool but it must be screwed on and not pressed.

I use a flat ended drift and a hammer. It should'nt take a very hard hit to loosen it.

I am posting the photo to maybe help you understand more of what I am trying to describe.

On your sprocket you should find two holes. In order to remove this type of sprocket you will either need to buy a special tool or make one yourself using an old deep well socket.
If you choose the later. Take a deep well socket that will cover 1/2 of each hole on the sprocket. Do some grinding until you have two 2 lugs that will engage with the holes in the sprocket. Remove the sprocket using the "tool" and the the rope trick mentioned above.
