Just had this saw come in. Fellow used a impact wrench to remove the clutch. Though this doesn't always happen its a good idea never to use a impact wrench on a chainsaw. Look at his flywheel key, history.
Was he trying to turn it the wrong way?
Let me guess, MS180, MS250? I feel a impact is the safest way on these, but the flywheel has to come off first or exactly that will happen. I'll never have another piston stop in a 180 after bending a rod and poking a hole through a piston on a MS180. Mr. Hall, you've had a lot more of these apart than I have. How do you do it?
Wow.
BTW, did you sell a new saw to this fellow today?

Looking at the clutch, he almost had to be turning it the wrong way to break it off like that, I would think. I've talked to other people who say that the impact wrench is the way to go.
Well like I said they don't always cause damage but man when they do its costly. That key is built into that flywheel, he'll need a new flywheel at the tune of around 90 bucks. I'm sure many have survived a impact wrench but it sure hurts the pocket book when one doesn't....
Naaaaa I'll fix that one, tant no biggie. Price of that flywheel may break his heart but he'll learn from it,LOLOL
:agree2:Was he trying to turn it the wrong way?
Ouch. And a piece of rope goes for about what? Say...30 cents?
To be fair, I've had my share "why did I do that!??!"
Dayum Tommy, you are gonna break his credit card but good! You may even reverse this economic situation in the US with the price of that flywheel and clutch as well. Talk about bailout costs!
