    I wanted to swap clutches to see if that is some of my problem with chain spin. Well maybe more like swapping clutch springs. I know how to remove a clutch but do I have to remove the clutch to remove the springs?

    OK that's all I needed to know. Clutch comes off to replace springs. I will just swap clutches in that case from my parts saw.

    I replaced the springs on the 038mag without pulling the clutch off. Wasn't too bad, but it was a tight squeeze getting them in and out.

    Did it have what you traditionally would call a spring? The husky has springs shaped like a "C". I grabbed them with pliers but they did not budge.

    These were coil springs. I overlooked that the thread was about a husky.
