How to Remove Troy Bilt chainsaw clutch?

the clutch nut unscrews the same direction as it travels.
remove spark plug, turm engine until its about half way down the cylinder, use a length of nylon rope, about the same size and quality as the starter rope and feed into the cylinder, making sure you have enough sticking out to remove. turn motor to compress rope, this will allow you to undo nut without damaging piston. when refitting, tighten by hand, assemble and start motor with chain brake engaged to tension
