Many times the crankshaft may have rust build-up between the shaft and clutch mating surfaces. *NOTE (especially if you wash the unit with a garden hose after use ... this is NOT a good practice when the unit is still hot .... as it encourages rust build-up and bearing failures)

You will need to VERY GENTLY (you can damage the clutch by prying too hard) pry the clutch assembly with a large screwdriver or pry bay, and then make sure it will not hit the floor too hard when it does come loose.

*Note; upon re-assembly, use a SMALL amount of grease to lubricate the mating surface of the crankshaft and inside clutch.
