When I worked in a saw shop we had a special tool that was used just for removing clutches. It was a piston stop, you removed the spark plug and screwed it in. It was basically a long threaded bolt (about 2 inches) and it would stop the piston from coming up which keeps the crank from turning. The tool we had was a Stihl or Huskvarna special tool but one could easily be made. It is the only way to properly remove clutches that I know of and works well on any brand.
