Pro Chain Saw 46cc 20″
The teeth are worn on my chainsaw. It looks as though the clutch must be removed to change this part. How do I remove the clutch assembly?
Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
Yes there is a special tool to engage on the clutch. You can get it from the Poulan web site – I think it is part number 31112 – cost about $5. Maybe you can get by without it, by using a screwdriver and hammer, but the tool was easy and risk free. You also have to stop the piston, as the previous poster said. I Googled how to do this, and the consensus seemed to be that it’s easiest to stick rope down inside the cylinder, avoiding pusing it through the exhaust port. That worked like a charm. I used a hammer to hit a wrench on the clutch tool to break it loose.Many thanks to the original answerer for getting me on the track to solving this.

6. Unscrew the clutch by turning to the right because clutches are left hand thread, that is most clutches, some old American made chainsaws are regular thread. (The cord that is inside the cylinder should keep the piston from moving and allow you to apply plenty of torque to get the clutch off.
While the use of clutch control at low speed can be used to obtain greater control of acceleration and engine braking, once a car has picked up sufficient speed the clutch should be fully engaged (pedal released).
After bringing the engine up to speed in a gear, the driver senses the need to upshift. To get out of the current gear without using the clutch, the driver backs off slightly on the accelerator and gently pulls the gear stick toward the neutral position.
Generally, replacing a clutch can take anywhere between 2 to 6 hours. If you book in for the job, we recommend you should put a whole day aside just in case.
NORAM centrifugal clutches are designed to fit engines ranging from fractional horsepower up through 50 HP applications.
Once the engine is spinning fast enough, there is no slip in the clutch. It lasts forever.
