Shoved a bunch of parachute cord into the head thru the spark plug hole to stop the cylinder from moving..make sure to leave enough to pull it out when you are done.
Unscrew clutch cover using torx driver
Unscrew clutch from shaft..( this is where you need the parachute cord in the cylinder)
Screw new clutch on.
Screw clutch cover on

Put spark plug and wire back on.
That's it.

Parts Used:

Repair Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent Repairing:
15-30 minutes
Tools Used:
Socket set, Torx bits
Clutch was broken
Followed the supplied directions on how to remove and install the new clutch.

I had two problems. One, aligning the drive shafts, that took several tries. The second problem, I some how managed to break the gas line. I had to order a new line. Replacing the gas line seemed harder than replacing the clutch. I also took the carburetor apart and cleaned it. I really did not know what I was doing. But, I did not have anything to loose.

My normal mechanic said the trimmer was not worth repairing. It has been in the garage for years, waiting on me to try to repair. I am glad I did not listen to the repair man. The trimmer worked like a charm.

I followed the instructions others had posted above and the repair could not have been easer. Saved my 4-cycle trimmer for less than $100 and that including buying a full set of torx screwdrivers (because why only buy the one you need!).
