Jonsered clutch removal?

[WadePatton]

Sorry, but I've searched and not found any answers.

On the 2145 and 2150 turbos:

Is the special tool really necessary? Where do I get one? And walk me through it. These are my first saws with the sprocket on the inside of the clutch and they're showing some wear. Thanks

should be the same as the 345 and 350 Husky saws. I'm guessing they are the same as my 346XP. I pull the plug and put a piston stop in the hole, gently pull the starter rope till the piston hits the stop, then take an old screwdriver and set the blade in the notch in the clutch, then smack it with a hammer. The clutch assembly will spin off, it's reverse threaded onto the crankshaft.

That'll work, thanks.
