Don't know about your particualr saw, but general instructions are : take the bar cover off, take the bar and chain off, put your piston stop in, remove the clutch nut by unscrewing it clockwise, remove the shoes and springs from inside the drum, and pouit them in the new one, replace it all. If you don't have a piston stop you can pull the starter cord all the way out and stuff some of it into the spark plug hole to stop the piston moving when you turn the clutch nut.

You provide no model, this may not be your saw.

It has an external clutch, this is a good guide for removal.

  1. Check the IPL for your saw to see if any special tools are needed. Poulan (Craftsman, Jonsered, Husky) clutch removal tool part number 530031112 if needed, is under $5 from many sources (look at the visible area between the weights if 2 small round sockets are visible you need the tool).
  2. There are metal piston stops available, when square (almost never) with the piston top these work well, if not square they have been known to punch through the piston. I suggest a length of nylon rope (nothing left behind) be used instead of the piston stop (retain 6" ± so you can remove it). Make sure the piston is near the top of the cylinder before feeding the cord or it can fall through the exhaust port and damage the piston as it rises.
  3. Everyone I have ever removed had a left handed thread (tighten it to loosen it).
If my example is not your saw you can find yours here:

If your saw is not listed type "CS" in the “Model:” window, click "Search" and select your saw from the list provided.

If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Good Luck. HTH

I have a Honda whipper snipper that needs a bearing that attaches to the clutch /drum assembly.i removed the large circlip at the end of the clutch housing but can`t progress any further, any ideas?john

The bearing you want will be in the end of the shaft housing under the clutch drum. You will need to pull the clutch drum out of the housing so remove the head of the snipper to ensure that there are no retainers on the end of the shaft. Check if there are 2 holes in the housing under the drum . insert a punch and tap the clutch drum and drive shaft out of the bearing. If there are no holes there then there may be holes in the back of the clutch drum in which you will inset the legs of a slide hammer puller and hammer it out of the bearing

How do I change the clutch drum on my stihl hs81R hedge cutter?

hi all, I see a few people are in need of this question been resolved so heres the answer.

1st, of all you need to take off the gear box plate using a torx 27 tool to remove the 6 torx bolts.

2nd, you will need to remove the internal spur gear and connecting rods possible the full blade.

3rd, remove the external circlip that holds the drive pinion gear in place.

4th, you will need to remove the air filter cover

5th, next is the 3 torx bolts holding the gearbox casing to the engine 1 is at the back wich can be accessed through the ring that covers the rear anti vibration springs. the other 2 are either side of the casing sunk down a little bit. hopefully these can be easily located.

6th, next is the pull start housing/ top casing.

7th, at this point you should be able to carefully lift the engine out of the lower casing and get access to the clutch drum.

8th from the gear box side carefully tap the drive gear out of the bearing.

9th, give the gear box a good clean out to remove any old oil and any metal filings that may be hanging around.

finally re fitting is pretty much the reversal of this step by step although 1 thing to take into consideration is when putting the new clutch drum in be sure to have something softer than the clutch drum to tap it back into place using the centre of the clutch drum to avoid any possible damage on refiiting.

1 final thing, good luck. and don't forget to refill with grease

How to change a clutch on a stihl fs108 brush cutter?

The clutch drum is held in place by a circlip on the opposite side of the clutch housing to the motor. To undo the circlip you need long, straight expanding circlip pliers that are thin enough to go down the side of the shaft drive housing (where the square end of the shaft goes in) and the clutch housing. Get the two points of the pliers into the two holes on the circlip then squeeze the pliers to expand the circlip and bring it up the clutch drum shaft until you can remove it. It can be a fiddly job so patience is needed!. Once you have the circlip off the clutch drum the drum will pull out through the motor side of the clutch housing. Replacement is the reverse process but make sure the circlip is properly seated in the groove.

Changing drive shaft

You should be able to just pull it out, it just slides into the clutc drum. It be stuck from rust, speay some WD-40 on it an let it set for a while, also try tapping on the clutch drum lightly with a hammer as you pull on the shaft.

How do you change the clutch?

Remove the side casing. (bar side)
Take off bar and chain.
Remove E-clip holding the clutch drum on.
Remove clutch drum and needle cage bearing.
This should expose the clutch.
Remove spark plug.
Use a piston stop to stop the piston rising, Sometimes a knotted piece of pull cord fed into the cylinder is just as good.
Turn the clutch clockwise with a socket to unscrew.

To put clutch back on turn anticlockwise till piston cycles back and hits the piston stop again and tighten. Replace spark plug and clutch drum, bearing, bar and chain and side casing.

HOW TO CHANGE CLUTCH DRUM

It realy depends on wheather it has an internal clutch, or an external clutch, if the clutch is internal it is a straight forward job, start by removing the retaining c clip from the end of the crank, remove the washer, the drum shoud now just slid off, be carful not to lose the needle bearing, assembly is simply the reverse, if your machine has an external clutch you will need to remove the clutch first, there is normally a nut on the outside of the clutch, or two half circle cut-a-ways in the clutch centre, these are to take a special tool ( a cylinder with two pins and a 19mm nut on the top ) the part number of this tool is 530031112, the clutch is a left hand thread, undo clockwise, do not be tempted to use a screw driver or punch on the centre spider as it may snap the legs off.

Can you replace the bearnings in the clutch basket in a ktm 50 pro sr,or do you have to buy a whole basket.

I dont know of any bearings in the basket. The clutch consists of the basket(drum), clutch shoes(3 of) on a centre hub and disc-spring stacks(one stack to each shoe) consisting of disc springs(that look like washers) and a bolt. All of which can be replaced seperately.
To remove undo the centre lock nut.Get the drum assembly off the crank(you'll need a puller for this). Take the shoe assembly out of the drum. Mearure the inner diametre of the drum and the outer diammetre of the shoe assembly. The difference between the 2 measurements should be between 1.50mm an 2.00 mm. If the difference is bigger you can insert a shim between the center hub and shoes up yo a maximum of 1mm shim, then you'll need to replace the shoe. Clean the disc springs and check for wear. Replace if needed.
The quickest way to mess up your clutch is to run on old oil. Change the transmission oil after a maximum of 5 hours riding. It needs about a cup full(250ml) so it is really not expensive considering a set of clutch shoes will set you back $60. Dont neglect this.

Poulan Super25DA old chainsaw from the mid 70's.

Call your local Power Equipment Dealers and ask if any of them deal with OREGON replacement parts.
OREGON makes clutch drum, chain and bar combinations in the thousands!
NOTE: Along with clutch drum and chain replacement, your bar will need to be changed also, as the sprocket-tip in the nose of the bar will be a different pitch.
