You can make a tool. I made one for my saw by grinding away a 3 tooth pattern from a 19mm socket (use a deep well socket unlike me, lol). Mark where you want to remove material and grind it, takes about 5 minutes.

Don't forget that the clutch is usually reverse threaded (on all of my saws they are).

please can u help me with my poulan 295 pro how do i stop engine from turning when i try to remove the clutch...i have the tool to remove clutch but cant stop the engine from turning

thanks

Usually a sharp blow from a nice size punch and a heavy weight hammer will shock it enough to break it free on the out side of the inner part out from the thread hole (not the two halfs that seperate wiith the spring around them). Using a socket you either have to remove the flywheel cover and lock it some how (be careful if you use a screwdriver you may break a cooling fin off) or put enough rope down the spark plug hole to lock the piston up when it come up.

I have always removed the sparkplug and pushed rope into the cylinder. Ue your tool to turn the clutch and the piston stops against the rope and the clutch comes right off.
