Removing the Clutch on Husqvarna 36

[RobR45]

I recently noticed that the clutch on my Husky 36 was worn pretty badly. I purchased a clutch assembly online, and I am going to replace the worn clutch. Is there any easy way to remove the clutch? I have lost the original manual for the saw, and I do not see an easy way to get the clutch off. The clutch that I purchased came with bearings as well. Do you have to lube these bearings? And if so what type of lube do you use? I do have some grease that I use to lube the bar sprocket. Would this lube be sufficient? Thanks in advance for your help!

Clutch removal

Rob, First off, I have the same saw.What I did, (just last week) was to remove the clutch to inspect the bearings.With the clutch cover off, I simply used a brass punch with a stout hammer going in a clockwise direction. I made sure that the piston was going up on the compression and hit the clutch a time or two and it came right off.Place your punch the furthest you can on the solid part of the clutch. Should come off with little problem, Ken

Yes Fish but you made up for it with your patience with the guy that was pissed when his clutch came apart after a trip to the dealer. Hey that guy hasn't come back either has he?
