Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): clutch plate plate removal, clutch plate, clutch plates


Question
I have a Ryboi gas trimmer model 30020a & one of the clutch plates broke.  How do I remove the clutch plate.  I removed the Bell drum connector, but is unable to remove the clutch plate.  Also do you know the name of that tool to remove the clutch plate, to buy online

Answer
Hi Milton,
 What we do is remove the spark plug and put a piece of rope in the cylinder to keep the engine from turning, and carefully use a large pipe wrench around the clutch. The clutch will have an arrow on top to indicate the direction to turn it for removal. Hope this helps.
