Don't talk to me about clutch removal on a 346!!

[spudulike]

Think Matty has found a new way of removing the clutch on his 346XP - directly through the side of the clutch cover:lol:

 

Hope the cover fitted OK:thumbup1:

 

Don't forget the ear defenders on Sunday - Burrells ported 357XP should be ready for our Sawfest:thumbup:

Snapped both ends off on a stihl piston stop trying to get it off to put new springs on... Had to get a blow torch and heat a screw up to imbed it in the second breakage as it was stuck in the cylinder! 20 mins late for the job... But the 357 clutch removal tool worked well after I twisted and snapped the legs off my home made job, never had a clutch such a PITA as on that saw!

[MattyF]

Should be a good crack ! I'll bring my std 357 as well .... Well I might as well bring them all

Reckon you stuffed the stop through the exhaust port if it was the plastic dog bone Stihl one! You are supposed to jam it between the piston and the top of the cylinder:001_rolleyes:

 

Rope down the plug hole and a quick blow with a hard mallet on a screw driver using the cutouts in the clutch usually does it.

 

You should have run it round:001_rolleyes:

I could bring my ported 200. If that's ok? could you pm postcode so I could see how far it is from me. Cheers.

It's Mattys call on this as it is his site, Martin had the great idea, all I am doing is providing some of my ported kit but should be a good crack.
