DO NOT PRY OFF OR APPLY HEAT hold power shaft assembly (the rod the clutch is on) with pliers with a piece of rubber or something so you don't put marks on the shaft then tap on clutch rotor carefullynot to breakthe clutch rotor it will spin off. i was getting coffe at bk's and stop in the local lawn mower shop on the way back home to fine out info.
