QuestionI OWN A CRAFTSMAN BUSHWHACKER/TRIMMER MODEL # 358.7958.10
32CC . THE PULL STARTER CORD BROKE . HOW DOES IT COME
APART TO REPLACE IT ?I'VE TAKEN IT APART BUT I CAN'T FIGURE
OUT HOW TO SEPARATE PLASTIC HOUSING FROM THE STARTER CLUTCH ? IS IT PRESSED ON AND DO I NEED A SPECIAL TOOL .
Answer The clutch drum is held on, if memory serves me, with a small
torx head screw inside the center hole. Then the clutch can be unthreaded with a large jawed set of pliers, and the engine can be
stopped from turning with a piece of starter rope with several knots tied in it, stuffed into the spark plug hole.
