Hello. If you have access to a compressor with impact tool it will come off easily. I was lucky to have this to do it. Jon
Can you not get a draft or a screwdriver through the holes to stop it turning, or hit the wrench or spanner with hammer and allow the the shock loosen it.
Big bit of wood jammed in between blade and mower deck.. I know you've taken blade off! I might have a spare clutch somewhere too
Hi , thanks for the replies. I managed to get hold of an impact driver but it still wouldn't come out. I will bite the bullet and take it to my local mower shop where I bought it.
You need a proper impact wrench, not a driver. Modern battery ones are usually better than air these days.
Another way is to lock the engine up............. take the plug out and with the piston well down the bore and going up on the compression stroke (both valves shut) , feed in a load of thick starter cord...... leave an end sticking out the plug hole or you'll have trouble getting it out after! Once the nut is loosened, turn the engine so the piston goes down and pull the cord out. If you haven't done so, I'd check the cable is moving freely before taking it all apart.
i do not have a HRX but have a HRC its a long time since i did it but i rember i had to remove the plastic under deck insert have you checked its not a left hand thred
