JoeA 3 #1 Posted June 10, 2019 I bought some new friction material for the PTO clutch. Ideas on how to separate the old clutch material from the backing plate. I tried a chisel but it comes off in small chunks Thank You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,177 #2 Posted June 10, 2019 Ive had good luck using a stiff/coarse cup wire wheel on one of the small angle grinders (HF) No doubt there are many variations of the material, but that'd be worth a try. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
