Bolt that holds starter Clutch on...

[Troyer23J]

Big suprise, I am having to replace my starter clutch. The bolt that holds it on the crank, well, the one on the ed of the crank that holds the gears which hide the tarter clutch, I cant get that out for nothing. Is it left hand threads? I have tried both ways, my impacts wont break it free and i cant use a bar b/c the motor turns over...

Any suggestions?! I wa hoping to finish this today, but im stuck.

you should be able to have someone put it in gear and squeeze the brakes really hard to get it to not spin. In order for you to do so the clutch has to still be installed for it to hold.

air impact works in a snap..... that bolt is connected to the crank of the motor so be careful.
