Poulan Pro 505 Clutch Removal Tool

[winchester]

I'm working on an old Poulan Pro 505 and I need to get the clutch off. I've got a Husqvarna 5025222-01 clutch removal tool, but it won't fit over the center part of the clutch. What does everyone use to get this clutch off. I've already resorted to a punch and hammer, but can't get it loose.

That saw is a rebadged Jonsered 2083.

I know you realize it is lefthand thread.

Make a clutch removal tool out of an old socket. Get a big one to fit over the inside of the hub then grind away after marking where the clutch interfers. Leave three heavy duty "ears" and then use this tool to remove. Mike

Yup! I make all of my own clutch removal tools. It takes less time to make one with a grinder than it does to go looking for a vendor who has the factory made tool. And if you don't want to trash a new socket, go buy a bunch of junky ones at a pawn shop and keep 'em handy.
