3. Removed the clutch drum by loosening captive torx screw in end of drum, sliding off the drum.
4. Removed the clutch each of the two clutch discs by tapping a screwdriver with a hammer to spin then off.
5. Removed old clutch washers.
6. Replaced washers and clutch in order for other model trimmer.
7. Tighten clutch with adjustable plier.
