Note: If a Clutch part malfunctions, it could jeopardize the integrity of other Clutch components. If you have problems with the Clutch, a
Clutch Kit is available, but we recommend replacing your Clutch as a complete assembly.

1. Remove the Belt Guard and Belt (see “Removing and Replacing the Drive
Belt” in this Chapter).
2. Remove the Clutch Bolt, Lock Washer and Thick Washer and then slide the
Clutch from the Crankshaft (Figure 43).
3. Remove the Key from the keyway in the Engine Crankshaft and set it aside.
4. Leave the Spacer on the Engine Shaft.
5. Clean the engine crankshaft and remove any burrs, then apply Anti-seize
compound to the Crankshaft.
6. Install the Key in the keyway of the new Clutch hub, align the Key with the
slot in the Engine Crankshaft, and then slide the new Clutch Assembly onto
the crankshaft. Install the Thick Washer, Lock Washer and Clutch Bolt.
Tighten the Bolt securely.
7. Reinstall the Drive Belt and set the Drive Belt tension and alignment (see
“Removing and Replacing the Drive Belt” in this Chapter).
