Husky 55

[down-n-dirty]

Good Morning, does anyone know the part number model number of a Hysky 55 clutch removal tool. I have run out of options trying to locate one of these for my Huskys.
Thank you

I usually take a cheap socket mark where the prongs need to go into the clutch then just cut out with a grinder works really well.

15mm socket and an impact driver, according to this youtube video:

Does that have a hex nut on clutch?

 

[SimonHS]

I think so. I don't own a 55 that I can go look at and measure.

I see photos of two-shoe and three-shoe 55 clutches on the net and they all seem to have a hex nut hub.

Plain socket,

I'll bid 15mm.

Mine is a 15mm Socket and I used some clothesline rope as a piston stop. I have an impact wrench but I got it off of there with the rope. That thing was really torqued on there. Posting this as a follow up to other 55 owners. I used a 1/2" drive ratchet and socket to break it free.

A 1/4” Makita impact driver with adjustable speeds and torque is what I’ve used for many years.

I have the 1/2" 18 volt Makita drill just realized it has the hammer drill setting, I think that's an impact as well. I'll try that next time.

No, too much torque. Find a 1/4” drive.
That hammer setting would snap a crank in seconds

Glad I didn't try it out! I got mine off with the 15mm and rope trick. Kind of hesitant to use an impact driver anyways.
