Boy, that clutch looks TOASTED! It was definitely abused. Probably could be salvaged with just new springs. Clutch is a "left-hand" thread. If you impact it in the wrong direction you'll break the crank shaft stub. Others have learned this lesson the hard way... on MUCH less expensive saws.
Ok thanks
Ok got that off I will pick up parts tomorrow and see about getting it fixed back up
He wants to undo the clutch not tighten it
Chainsaw clutch threads are designed to tighten in the direction of rotation the engine runs as a safety feature to keep the chain/clutch on if a kickback or sudden stop of the chain occurs. Is it the same where your at or are things different? Asking for a friend...
Yes they are the same here, on the clutch side the thread is left hand to do such a thing, to loosen you go in the direction of engine rotation. If you had taken off a clutch you would know that.
I think my original statement confused you into thinking the opposite of what i stated
Just imagine how confused the bloke is who is trying to undo his clutch in the opposite direction to engine rotation
Well this bloke figured it out now just waiting on my parts but it made me think
Who knows maybe misunderstood we deal with valve people from overseas and their description is anti clockwise just doesn’t sound right
Err! Because you gave him confusing advice, let us all know when you can get a clutch off a stihl 880 chainsaw undoing the nut that holds it on, in the opposite direction to engine rotation? Because for someone who hasn’t taken a clutch off before, they just need to know which direction to turn the nut. Unless of course you count stripping the thread or shearing off the shaft as getting it off. You gave confusing information, the skill of a good teacher is to give clear easily understood unambiguous information, so that anyone can understand it.
