How to remove clutch?

[Fstnd378]

Hello, all the info I can currently find on the internet is about the 2 shoe clutches, but does anyone know how to remove this 4 shoe clutch from the crank? I think it is a original FG clutch



Edit: I can also end up with a new 2 shoe clutch, but I need this specific FG clutch shoe housing which I can't remove right now because the clutch is in the way

That looks a lot like Lauterbacher 4 shoe, you have a pic of the plate you removed? Anyway to safely remove it they make a tool to remove this style of clutches that are mounted directly on the shaft. They are available from MCD

Thanks, actually I will go on vacation so can't order it but I have still some time to go to the hobbyshop (they don't do anything with engines in general, but are friendly) and see if they can remove it for me

Okay, I gave you the safe way to remove it with the proper tool.
Since you don‘t have fast access to the tool here’s another way without the tool.
You need to get 2 bolts, one 5mm for the crankshaft and one 7 mm for the clutch, just verify the screw sizes for crankshaft and clutch.
Cut the head off the 5mm and slot it so you can screw into the crank shaft, then just thread in the 7mm into the clutch and she will pop right
off the crank. Before I had the proper tool this is how I did it. but like I said just verify your threads.

Thanks so much for those steps! I (more or less) sadly just came back from my local mechanic and he literally did it for free (I just noticed your answer). It was such a easy fix actually:

In the metal round thing where the clutch shoes are attached , there was already some sort of tread where a screw -with a bigger diameter than the screw that you use to screw into the crank- can be screwed in. And when you do that, it automatically pops out of the crank!

Glad it all worked out for you, and you have it off buddy
