Thanks for the input. I've been doing searches for that tool, I was even going to sacrifice a impact socket to try and make one. It has to go over the crank on that side and my impact socket was not long enough. Just looking I think that one has a correct size end, it looks like a universal type, but it just does not look long enough. I think this one is long enough, costs a bit more. clutch toolI'm wonder though if I could just get in there with my dremel and cut the sucker off and just put a new one one it, I'll see what the cost on that would be. OK, six bucks for a nut, I'll probably go that way. Oh, another six for the thrust washer if I mess that up.

The threads are fine so be careful! How you gonna tighten it?
Another option if you can weld is you can use a piece of steel plumbing pipe to make a tool that fits and weld a socket to one end so you can hit it with an impact. The trick is finding a piece of pipe the right diameter.

I took the pipe wrench out and worked on it, it came right off, wish I had done that the other day.
So the clutch free wheels I'm pretty sure this is what is not working right. The Reduction gear looks good, all the teeth are there.

Yeah, hindsight The clutch should freewheel in one direction and grab in the other direction.

Just a idea and you probaly already tried it or know of it but how about a impact screwdriver. I got mine at Sears great for screws that are frozen.

I have a couple of those, they work great but this is a little different, wish I had taken some pics, but I get so greasy working on it I don't want to touch the camera maybe with the re-assemble.

The starter clutch is held on by a nut that looks like this: This shows it all assembled: I think a tool like this would work well if the crank is immobilized. I think it would be cool if they had a push button locking pin on these engines like they have on circular saws to change the blade. . . . . . .

A tool like that would get it off or on just fine. I would like to know why they don't just make it a square nut, the thing is not in a hole that needs a round nut to fit in and you could just use a regular wrench.
The only reason to use a socket would be so you could torque it to spec for tightness. But really this one came off very easily with the pipe wrench.

I made one good engine out of two bad engines and both of those damn nuts were very tight. Like I said, I had to strap the engines down while loosening them.
Glad you at least got it off there. How much was the tool you ordered?
