Clutch Removal Hack

[Pete Collin]

Hello All,

I needed to remove the clutch on my Jonsered chainsaw.  A web search revealed that I needed some special tool to do it, so I innovated a bit and made a video of my easy solution:

Hello Pete,

Welcome to the forum!
Nice video.

Welcome, and thanks for the tip on clutch removal. Clever...

Did you find the replacement part for the oiler drive?

Our sponsor "Chainsawr" (left hand column listing) is known for parts, if looking.

I found the part on Parts Tree.  Supposedly their delivery time is slow.  The parts company that Jonsered referred me to was so unhelpful - the lady on the phone didn't get my chainsaw model correct nor the part needed!  Good thing I checked before ordering.

Not putting down your ingenuity and good work but those two angled notches on the side of the clutch shoes are just rite for a hammer and punch.

I use the bar that came off the chainsaw im working on to pull the clutch, pretty much the came concept.
Good thinking tho, always have the tool for next time.
