Good vid there mate, glad it helped, now you need to explain to your viewers what happened to that circlip when you first removed it, :), and why when fitting it, you had your finger over it. On some circlips, I put the piece that has the circlips inside a plastic bag if possible, and if it flies off, the bag contains it.

Thanks mate and thanks for your help, this would be in the bin if it wasn’t for you! Yes! Such a good point. For anyone reading this, the thing went flying the first time even with my thumb covering it. Spent 10 minutes searching. Great tip with a clear bag mate! I’ll use that in future :)

i have a stihl fs 38 weed eater that I change the clutch, I feel that the bushing in the clutch bell is lose cause the bell to wobble. It does not fit like one in the video. Do you know if this part can be bought separate without buying the hold clutch assembly? I

Excellent video, I just recommend using an Internal tooth lock Washer to prevent the screw from loosening.

How on earth did you manage to get the screw out of the crank shaft. I just broke one off in mine and would really appreciate some advice on how to get it out.

@VintageEngineRepairs 3 ай бұрын

They should only be snug and maybe a touch more, if they’re hard to remove it’s possibly rust. Be careful, heat it up and use penetrating oil. Then drill a hole through the bolt and use an easy out :)

@jeffreyhornstein4887 2 ай бұрын

Amazing video. Great advice! I love your novel way of looking at these problems. My issue is I accidentally rounded the torx screw head and can't figure out a way to get it the heck out of the drum so that I can use your method to rebuild the drum. The shaft on my Ryobi 875r 4 stroke is way too narrow to get a screw extractor down there. I'm guessing the only option is a long skinny left hand drill bit, but I wont be able to see what i'm doing down in the shaft and I don't want to damage the crankshaft threads. I figure if anyone can figure this out it would be you. Might make a good companion video to the rebuild one. Cheers

@VintageEngineRepairs 2 ай бұрын

Hey :) thanks! You can try put some CA glue on the end of the Torx bit, let it set up and carefully see if you can free it? It’s unlikely, but it’s about the best I can come up with!
