Husqvarna 350 Clutch Removal

[Scandy14]

I did a search first and did not come up with anything other than Troll advising to use a hammer and chisel. (Seems like I remember Andy saying you shouldn't hit anything on a saw with a hammer.....LOL)

So, other than the correct tool, is there any alternatives to remove the clutch, other thank the Fred Flintstone method?

Dude never use a hammer to remove a clutch.
To take a clutch off, you do the same thing you use to remove a loose tooth. String and a pick up truck.
Tie one end to the clutch and the other to a pick up. Then hold on the saw real tight, I mean real tight, don't mess around here, I mean hold that sucker real tight. Than have someone take off in the pick up, but make sure you start with alot of slack on the rope so you have a real clean jerk.

On second thought, maybe the Fred Flintstone method isn't a bad idea after all ...........LOL

The clue is to make the angle of the strike as small as possible, therefore the chisel, and not a screwdriver.

Another vote for Fred Flintstone. Use a brass or aluminium drift to drive the clutch round and remember it's a left-hand thread. It's what I'd do.

Pickup: rofl

You could always use the Husky clutch removal tool, which costs a lot less than a new clutch.

LOL - I guess than is a good option, but not redneck enough for some of us....

The specific Husky clutch tool covers a lot of models.

340, 345. 346XP, 350, 351, 353, 455, & 460.

Looks like it would be pretty easy to make the tool out of a spare socket.

Yep, I made this for my 346 but it will work also on a 350. Can be made easy with a spare 1/2" socket, hole saw, drill bits, and a TIG welder.

brncreeper, that's a great idea. I have access to plenty of materials to make one of those. Thanks for posting.
