I’ll realize that I removed the crank case for absolutely nothing lol just picking but very helpful video thks for sharing
tHANKS FOR VIDEO . iTS HELPFUL TO TELL SCREW AND BOLT SIZES.
You will need a Torx T20 (slim shaft) to fit inside of that clutch drum shaft. T25 is going to be to large.
Thank you for the information. Not mentioned in the video.
Thanks. This info saved me a bit of frustration as it appeared to be close to a 3 mm allen.
Samsung Allen wrenches and torx are interchangeable btw however the clutch is tight so yeah use a torx or it will strip but for stuff that isnt so tight a allen can undo a torx and vice versa
I'm stuck trying to remove the clutch drum. My T20 won't seem to grip. Best I can tell is that it's some sort of honeycomb looking head. Something I've never seen before. Any ideas/advice? Thanks!
Thank you
Worked. No need to remove rear cover.
I had a very similar model trimmer and this worked like a champ! Parts was around 20 bucks. I know I've thrown away trimmers before when one of those clutch springs go and I never bothered to look why. This was excellent!
Thank you! I was getting frustrated with that thing and you showed just how easy it was to remove.
Thank you mark for the tip easier than I thought.
If your trimmer has the electric starter option, you can use a pentalobe bit and a 1/4 drive ratchet to hold the crank when removing the clutch shoes...useful !
I had found the problem but did not know how to tackle it your video has shown me the way
Great video.
Thanks for sharing
RUclips is fucking amazing! I have to do this job tomorrow, and couldn't figure out how to stop the crank from turning. The rope idea is ingenious!
Excellent you help me so much thank you very much for this video
Thank you for your best video, I have a similar model, and I going to modify the clutch with socket bike for rc car.
Good luck!
Mark, Another great informative video. I’ve watched several of yours and never realized that it would be very helpful, for me anyway, if you could mention the size of the bit you use to remove fastener whatever. I guess this just came to light with this video because that is what I am doing on my neighbors Troy-bilt trimmer. I can’t seem to find the fight Allen size to fit down the clutch housing to take it off. That’s when it hit me, maybe you could call out the bit size of wrench size thus making it a little easier for us DIY’ers.
Keep up the great presentations and I’ll keep watching and learning.
Happy New Year Mark!
Sincerely,
Dorald Keefer
It's a torx bit. T20
Best video by far..thank you
Great video.. took apart the clutch and all springs.. should have seen this before, but thank you
Thank you so much for this video, I just took one off tonight of a 15 year old weed-eater (troy bilt) no they are not reverse threads,lol like some folks were asking here, just tight as hell,this might help someone out in the future,the area on my clutch where he puts the crescent in the video is very thin on mine so it was pipe wrench time and i tell you i put penetrating oil on it and it was reeaaaally tight and the clutch was somewhat corroded, ,might have to get a new one once i inspect everything.
Great ,wasn’t sure how to lock up the crank. sweet
I am curious - What is the purpose of removing the rear engine and crankcase covers? I see no activity on that section of the engine as the shaft locking is done with feeding the starter rope into the combustion chamber.
You don't need to remove the rear crankcase cover at all. I've done disassembly 5 times so far.
I do not understand why the crankcase cover needed to be removed as you did nothing there to stop the crank from turning, it was only the starter cord that you used to bind the cylinder.
I didn't have to remove mine either. I thought maybe I would need to so that I could get better leverage on the spark plug, but nope.
I wondered the same thing.
same. Seems to be an extra step unless someone has a reason why
Great video.
Wish I had seen this first. I didn't know there was a set screw in the drum.
I used an allen wrench to tighten it down.
When the springs came apart the first time after 3 yrs of use. Everything including the drum fell out when I removed the 3 screws. I didn't know there was one there.
I replaced it with another clutch assembly and it lasted another year without tightening the drum.
I ordered another part and found your video for reference.
Thanks.
Why did you remove the back cover. It served no purpose
What wrench are u using?? U did not mention that!!
Thanks, brother..
excellent instruction but i would have like to know the size tools he used
Thanks just what I needed!!
I just replaced my clutch last year and already had again. 29cc 4 stroke Craftsman. Wondering if my alligator trimmer is causing it to wear out early? Used for personal home use only, but I have a lot of bushes I trim.
Does the clutch retaining screw have reverse threads or conventional threads?
I’m having trouble removing the screw that holds on the clutch drum.
Thank you in advance.
Great video.
Same problem here , just cant take it off.
Were you ever able to figure this out? I'm having the same issue
@@SweetKiyomi did you every get this? I ended up buying a torx kit for my dill (skinny shaft) . I think I had to use a t15. I used my impact drill and it came right off. Before that, I was struggling to get it out with a screw driver. (I bought these from amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6EB035/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
I can't seem to find the screw to hold the drum in place. The troy build parts manual does not show it.
Is there a video on the 575EC bump head speed cutting tool? My string will not go all the way through the head to wind. Thanks.
Followed instructions to the T. Up and running in 15 minutes
I am using a torx bit, but it keeps moving the cylinder when I turn it in an attemptto remove the boot (hand held driver not a power tool). how do I prevent this so I can remove that screw that's in the clutch boot?
I've got to dig just a little deeper with my trimmer. The coil isn't sparking so I have to take that plastic off. So far no luck getting the cover off of the clutch. I guess with all my specialty tools, I still don't have enough
Very clear video, could you please explain me how the clutch drum is attached to the crankshaft? At 4:58 the drum is screwd on directly on the crankshaft, is there a bearing inside the drum? how it can spin freely even if it is fastened?
You guys are awesome. I work at a big box store and always refer anyone who is looking for parts and info to you. After I replaced all the parts the trimmer turned the trimmer shaft in the opposite direction, what did I do incorrectly?Be Well and Good Journey Richie
Great video! Thank you so much! I have a question for you though: is removing the crank shaft cover necessary? I never heard you mention why and it seems like clogging the piston through the spark plug hole didn’t require it.
To remove just the clutch you would only need to secure the piston thru the spark plug hole but if the ex drive that the clutch connects to requires service them the crankcase cover would require removal. Thanks for the question
I didn't understand the need to remove the rear housing to replace the clutch assembly. Can you explain that?
You don't. It was for some other job that he was going to video later.
Hi👍,How to install carburator gasket on a craftsman hand blower?.thanks again
My friend gave me this trimmer. He said the head wouldnʻt turn but it ran. I recently went to work on it but the pull cord doesnʻt seem to want to "Pull" does that indicate the clutch needs replacing as in the video ?
The rope is stuck. How do I remove it.
What type screw is holding the drum in place. Hope you see this. I have the same machine as pictured. Thanks in advance.
Torkx bit I don’t know if that is the right spelling though but you need the thin ones
Torx 20. Will need a long stem one. They are really tight and unless engaged slip easily.
It may appear to work with a Metric 3 mm allen shaft to some degree (it fits in top of screw)..but nope not an allen.
How do you remove that screw if it's stripped whatever kind it is? does that new clutch assembly come with a torx screw?
Question, does the clutch slide up and down after tighten or is it secure (no movement up up down meaning slide)
What type of tool is needed to remove the clutch drum. I don't see a scew inside of my drum.
it would be nice if you mentioned what type and size of screw drivers you use .
It's a T20 (torx)
Unable to remove my clutch drum. Screw is frozen in there
This looks exactly like the Remington RM 2510. They must come from the same manufacturer.
He doesn't state what types of screws are used or the screw heads and head sizes. He doesn't state the screw tool or size. Example: is a torx or allen wrench used? What size? 4 words would save time and frustration.
All the screws are torx T20.
Thanks for making it easy for me to fall asleep
Nice
I've had two successful weed-eater clutch repairs using this repair video. Simple.
Hi, i just can take that drum off ! No way . I destroyed a torx tool ...what to do?
please tell us what tool you used to take off the drum
on Stihl its torx 27 i think or smaller
Torx driver 25 or T25
T20.....T25 is to large to fit in the shaft.
I have a question I hope you can answer. When I removed my clutch housing, it was free spinning, independent from the crankshaft, but the torx screw holding it on was very tight. When I reinstalled it, I tightened the screw down tight, but when I do, it does not let the housing free spin until the clutch itself engages. My trimmer will not start with any kind of attachment on it because the housing is locked to the crank. I had to go back in and loosen the screw holding the housing on to make it work properly, but I am worried about a loose screw in there. What am I missing? I reinstalled the large washer behind the clutch and two shims on top of the clutch prior to re-installing the clutch housing. I am beginning to think the torx screw was not tight from the factory, but had some sort of thread locker on it to hold it in position. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me??
Did you ever figure this out? I see my clutch housing "free spinning" too, and wondering about what to do next. Thanks
@@UTube_userRM The clutch housing is supposed to be free spinning after tightening the screw. When the clutch spins faster it springs out and contacts the clutch housing, causing the shaft to start spinning.
@@watcherwatchmen7785 thnx
What size torx is used in the clutch?
The size can vary from tool to tool but it is always either a T20 or a T25. -Mark
why Remove the Crank Case Cover
Mine won’t come off that eazy after loosing it off
Yes. It helps if you have a nice sparkling clean and never used trimmer like he does.
why is he taking spark plug out putting rope in cyl all he have do put vicegrip on crankshaft and loose clutch
Thank you for bringing it up
I did what you suggested and it worked. :)
I did too, thanks for the suggestion.
I’m missing the screw that holds down the clutch drum. Can you give the specifics on the screw
One of the best instructional videos I have seen.
