shallowwatersailor 3,213 #2 Posted August 14, 2018 I never had one off, but there is a clutch-stop bracket bolted to the engine block and a bolt into the crankshaft that need to be removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,504 #3 Posted August 14, 2018 Don't see anything in the 5xi service manual but here it is. Click on the picture first. Once the bolt and flat washer are removed from the end of the crank plus a bracket to stop the assembly from turning the clutch should pull off.

953 nut 51,794 #4 Posted August 14, 2018 Most electric clutches are retained by a bolt in the end of the crankshaft. with that bolt removed you will find the clutch has internal threads (some are 3/4" and some are 5/8" bolt size). Running the correct size bolt into the threads will push the clutch off the crank shaft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #5 Posted August 14, 2018 , and might I add you'll either need an air or electric impact wrench or a socket on, a breaker bar and rubber mallet to help break the center crankshaft retaining bolt loose, then after you have loosened said bolt up (do not remove) as the old PTO is probably rusted to the crankshaft snout you'll need a 3 jaw puller to help getting it moving after you have it loose then finish removing bolt and clutch, Jeff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katanski 2 #7 Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Thank you everyone who responded to this questions. It can off easier than I thought it would. Everything just slid off of the crankshaft. Edited August 22, 2018 by katanski 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,504 #8 Posted August 23, 2018 This application is one that should get a coating of Neverseize on reassembly. You are lucky it can off with ease? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry I literally pulled the parts off of the crank with my hands, It did get plenty of Neverseize when it went back together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
