oldsaw-addict said:West texas, those are VERY bad methods to remove a clutch. the proper way is to use a length of rope stuffed through the spark plug port, or to use a piston stop. Sticks are a great way to wreck a piston in short order, and get crap in the engine too. gripping the flywheel is an easy way to shear a flywheel key.
