Question
Hi Allen, my pull rope broke on my 790r and I am down to the clutch rotor assembly.  Any idea of how to get it off other than a large hammer?

Thanks, Dave

Answer
hiya Dave-

The clutch unscrews, but if this trimmer has anyage to it at all, I'd dump it adn get a better model.  Otherwise- I'd have a shop replace it for you.  These models were some of the worst to come out in recent years from a maintenance standpoint.

heh- lemme know what you decide, and hey, maybe you got a good one!
