The best way to remove a flywheel is to use a torque wrench set to 50 ft-lbs. Most flywheels will come off with less torque than this.
Without a flywheel an engine loses part of the momentum that continues the motion of the crankshaft. You can easily run an engine without a flywheel because the crankshaft, itself, has enough momentum to keep the engine running, albeit at a higher minimum speed.
Flywheels also help keep your engine running smoothly even when torque varies during gear changes. Without the momentum of the flywheel, the engine would likely stall when engaging the clutch. This is because the engine speed would drop too quick without the angular momentum of the flywheel.
Replacing the flywheel as soon as you suspect any kind of problem is vital to protect other parts of your gearbox. This is a moderately difficult task. It should only be undertaken by reasonably experienced mechanics who understand the layout of the engine and the function of its component parts.
Without a flywheel an engine loses part of the momentum that continues the motion of the crankshaft. You can easily run an engine without a flywheel because the crankshaft, itself, has enough momentum to keep the engine running, albeit at a higher minimum speed.

How to remove the clutch housing to insert new starter rope
ANSWER : I see that this machine has a 31cc engine with chrome-plated cylinder. I will now include the detailed instructions on how to remove the clutch and insert new starter rope.
Remove the tube that holds the flex-drive shaft from the front of the motor cover.Remove the rear engine cover. Remove the throttle cable from the carburetor. Mark and unplug any wires for the on/off switch that go to the ignition coil (underneath front cover) if possible. Now if you have pulled the driveshaft tube out of the way, the clutch drum is up next. Inside it, screwed into the very end of the engine’s crankshaft is a Torx #25 screw. Before you loosen it, you will have to lock up the engine. To do so, remove the spark plug. Pull on the starter until the piston is down, then insert a length of clean, soft rope into the engine. The engine will come up and compress the rope, thus locking it in place to allow clutch drum and clutch removal. Loosen the T-25 (Star bit or Torx head) screw inside the drum.. You may be able to remove it with a long thin-blade screwdriver also.It probably won’t come completely out…it is made this way. Next, remove the clutch. It is screwed onto a small threaded section of the crankshaft Removal is counterclockwise.. It will be pretty tight. To help, apply peneterating oil. Whack the ears of the clutch near the center with a hammer and a dull flat-blade chisel or a small piece of wood unless there are bolts. then use a wrench. It will turn counterclockwise for removal and there will probably be a removal direction arrow on it’s face. After getting that off, remove the Torx screws holding the cover to the engine. The starter unit should be mounted inside as it mates with the top of the flywheel to start the motor. Remember to preload tension (5-7 turns) on the starter unit. Make sure the handle is installed. Jam the unit with a screwdriver or vise grips so you can insert and tie off the new rope. Then remove jam device and let recoil pull your new rope into place while holding the handle. Reassemble and you are done. Disassembly requires Torx head drivers and a good flat-blade screwdriver. Post back if needed.

Clutch Drum Removal
ANSWER : Special tools may be require and can usually be purchased form the maker of your saw.
Often the spark plug is removed, the piston positioned to just before TDC, and a length of starter cord or rope fed into the cylinder. This allows the the clutch to be be removed without damaging the piston or cylinder.
1. Don’t put all of starter cord or rope into cylinder.
2. Ensure the piston is above the exhaust port.
3. The threads are often left handed.
