Odds are pretty good you do not own the clutch removal tool- so you either make one with two legs that fit the oval sections in the nut- or you use a hammer and chisel.

Or use your imagination- with two pair of fine nose locking pliers, large set of 90 degree fine nose, locking pliers and two 1/4 in rods.
Where there is a will there is a way- but hammer and blunt chisel works on these smaller ones more often than not- if you want to be fussy you could swap out the blunt chisel for a punch.

Meh....
On a Partner 351 clone....what I do is:
1) unscrew its sparkplug
2) on a 4-6 mm rope make 3-4 knots
3) put its piston so that it covers exhaust port and insert some amount of that rope inside the cylinder...it will act as a piston stop
5) crank its piston at TDC
6) take a screwdriver on the notch (right where it says "OFF") on its clutch and punch it 2-3times in the off direction...thats it
Could it be that for the first time there will be more resistance...since there is some baked dirt etc on the threads....
To put clutch back....screw everything back together....hand tight....
Turn on the chainsaw.....revv it and then engage its chainbrake....clutch will tighten itself back that way

I put two bolts through the holes of an old small bar I had lying around. Any piece of metal and a drill will do.
This saw has no chainbrake
Make a two lug one out of a old 3/8 - 1/2 socket, its rather easy, and made many for different applications,
Hammer and punch or this 530031116 https://sawzillaparts.com/proline-c...r-poulan-sears-craftsman-husqvarna-530031116/

Lots of info on-line about how to remove and re-install a Poulan 2250 clutch.
Best to use the clutch removal tool which is dirt cheap, block the piston if you do not have a impact tool.
Make sure you have the bar/chain and side plate in place before starting the saw.
If it's not properly tightened when you re-start the saw with the side plate off they will sometimes leave the area and could take some meat.
The arrow is indicating a left hand bass ackerds thread.

I am absolutely going to buy the tool. That way I can make sure it is on tight.
Hlsupply unless I can find one locally
Aw that's no fun. Everyone should have a clutch spin itself off the saw and hit the floor doing 10,000 rpm, truly shocking what the results can be.
Not doing this for fun. It is a need.

I guess I should learn to add a few of those laughing face thingees when I attempt humor.I think you might have taken that in the wrong context.
I did take it out of context. My apologies.
