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.
