if so I don't remember any nuts on it. Just a set screw and a greese fitting in the end of the crankshaft..

remove the shaft tightening pin.... you should be able to pull that off, if not, you might need a pulley puller...

I'm no expert on these things but in the pic there appears to be a snap ring on the end of the sprocket holding everything on.

my clutch was tore up and fell apart as soon as it came off the shaft but all that remains is like something like a spacer around the shaft and on top of that is the back part of the clutch (round plate) that covers it in the back and another round plate in front of it.. i cant slide them off.. do those little slots in the shaft have anything to do with it?

I don't know these engines but i guess you need a puller, maybe two jaw? Not sure, hope it helps.
