Thank you

 

DO NoT run it w/o the bolt on or that socket wedged in there. You may bend somrething or throw it out or balance.

You need to remove the clutch if you cant get it out.
You may need a puller.

Where EXACTLY is this socket?

 

its deap down inside the center of the clutchperhaps inside the crank? but its far down in there

 

He dropped it in the hole that goes into the motor behind the clutch, by the sounds of it.......I guess I was never sure where that hole went to.......




Definately remove the clutch......you will need a puller......

 

the puller will be pushing on that socket that goes into the hole just pushing it further inside, i really dont think a puller is going to help in this situation?

 

What?? The puller goes into the hole in the center of the clutch that goes in towards the motor..........is the socket in there???? If not, then remove the clutch.......


If so, wow......uh.......I guess see if a powerful magnet will take it out.....or a screwdriver with a hook on it......or a pick ......

 

I GOT IT!!!,, drove a 3/4 inch bolt in tight real tight,, and tapped the clutch with a hammer and it popped off! but theres still a lil chunk of socket stuck in the crank,, i was thinking to drill it out some then screw a bolt into that to back it out? what u think? any ideas,, also i broke a small chunk of the sheave,, how could that be repaired?

 

No one is for sure where you are talking about......be very specific..........where did you break a chunk off of?? Also, what did you use the bolt for??

 

the chunk broke off the top corner of the sheave engine side.. its about the size of a quater..
