    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm trying to remove my starter clutch assembly for inspection, repair and reinstallation. My main problem is that the starter clutch is rotating freely on crankshaft when the starter motor is engaged.

I picked up the rotor removal tool this afternoon, and I'm trying to "loosen" the rotor retaining bolt (as seen in the photo).

From the manual, step 7a reads...

"Place 2 small blocks of wood under one piston to hold the crankshaft from turning."

I should also point out that step 1 in this sections reads...

"Perform engine removal."

I would like very much to remove the starter clutch assembly without having to "Perform engine removal," but so far all of my attempts to remove this rotor retaining bolt have failed miserably.

What am I doing wrong?
 
need an impact.
should zip the bolt right out.
now sure about the engine removal comment.
not needed...never needed in the area you are working on.
 
this bolt is not reverse threaded or anything weird like that is it?


I wonder if my porter cable cordless would do it...


Thanks for the tip!
 
Once you get the bolt out,you might need to heat up the flywheel area behind the bolt. I use map gas and heat it to a dull red. The puller should then pop it off.

Ok, so I don't have the correct tools.

Thanks for the help guys!
