This is an authentic OEM sourced part which is specially made for Craftsman chainsaws. A centrifugal clutch is a part that uses centrifugal force to connect two concentric shafts, with the driving shaft nested inside the driven shaft. Today’s centrifugal clutches will function even when they shouldn’t, far beyond the point of when they need to be replaced. Keeping an eye on equipment performance will determine when the centrifugal clutch requires attention. It is a high-quality clutch drum which is made of durable metal and is sold individually. Please note, the #530057907 Clutch is sold separately.

2. Using a screw-driver I removed the e-clip holding clutch washer, and removed the washer.
3. At this point, the clutch drum should pull off. Mine was quite sticky so I ended up using my channel-lock pliers to pull on the sprocket. I was replacing this anyway (sprocket is on clutch drum) so I wasn't worried about marring the sprocket.
4. Replaced the clutch drum. Placed a new clutch washer back on (old one was perfectly serviceable but decided if I was in there I would replace it). Put the new e-clip on - be careful here, it can go flying!
5. Since I had lost my bar adjust screw earlier I replaced it in the bar cover. Then I bolted down the bar cover.
Chain kept coming off bar.
