How do you get clutch off homelite textron string trimmer?

Use a T25 Torx screwdriver on a fine screwdriver shaft down the centre of the drive shaft (in the bottom of the square hole). The screw has a right hand thread. This will allow the clutch cover to come off. You will then need a special spanner with two 3/16" pins, 1" apart anda 5/16 hole between them, to screw off the two clutch counterweights. Again a right hand thread.

The finest screwdriver shaft I could buy was "just" too tight and I had to open out the centre of the square, very slightly to allow the s/d shaft to fit in.

Good luck.
