Husqvarna 350 clutch removal

[stihl041avhog]

Working on a 350 that needs a new bar and chain. What's the easily way to get the clutch off without a special tool. That sprocket looks good but I don't know what pitch it is. No numbers on the bar or chain worn out bad. OR what came standard on the 350? Thanks guys

I use a hammer and a suitable piece of steel to hit where it says off.

The clutch doesn't really need to come off just trying to figure what pitch it is. I got the Bfh on standby.

.325 pitch

That's what mirrors are for.

Use a chain of known pitch to check the fit in the sprocket

I've already used the tool that comes with a 4" grinder to take a clutch off when I didn't have the right puller.



Yes, a 350 will more than likely have a 325 chain

what bar and chain combo would you run and what gauge?

 

[old-cat]

.325 is best for 50 cc saws. I prefer 18" for the bar

GOOD choice!

What gauge you get? My Stihl's all run .050

 

[old-cat]

.50 gauge and I have one STIHL chain

Just a note. I found a old socket in my dad's toolbox that look just like the husky tool, but he didn't work on saws and it work. Go figure .
