Remove the two bar nuts on the right side of your saw. Remove Bar cover, bar and chain. Remove the clutch, it is right handed thread. Remove the drive sprocket and replace. You will need a special tool for removing the clutch or make one.
The clutch is reverse thread, you will have to turn it counterclockwise as you are looking at the clutch. you will need a special tool for the clutch and a piston stop to screw in the sparkplug hole so the crank will not turn. Sometimes you can activate the blade brake and take a brass punch and a hammer and put it on the outer edge of the lip on the clutch and smack the punch with the hammer and it will break free, and then do the opposite direction to tighten the new clutch back up.
