Time
30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Socket set, I made a clutch removal tool with an old socket and a grinder
Removed spark plug and stuffed cord in spark plug hole to act as a piston stop . Made my own tool for removing clutch (would recommend purchasing a correct 3 pronged socket tool). Reverse threads. Simple to remove and replace. Of course the chain and bar will need to be removed first.

Removed the spark plug
Insert a knoted piece of small rope into the spark plug hole. Leave a tail to remove this later. This is necessary to keep the cylinder from moving while removing the clutch assembly. The thread is a left hand thread.
Used a chisel and hammer to remove the old clutch assembly
This creates a quick jolt to loosen the assembly.
Remove the old clutch assembly.
Remove the knoted rope from the spark plug hole
Reinsert the spark plug
Install the new clutch assembly, (washer, bearing, clutch drum, washer, clutch assembly) on the crankshaft. Remember, it's a left hand thread.
Lightly tap it with a chisel to tighten it.
Install the bar and chain and crank the saw.
The clutch assembly will tighten as you use the saw.

Removed clutch assembly, by turning the spring as a left-handed thread. The punch was placed on the shoulder of the “Y” piece of the spring assembly. Then all pieces were removed and replaced. There is a socket available that will fit the front of the spring assembly, and using an impact can remove the spring assembly.

No oil was reaching the bar on my Echo CS400 chainsaw.

Difficulty

Time

Tools Used
Screwdriver, Wrench Set, Special clutch removal tool, rope
1. I knew the bar was not getting oil. I tried cleaning the filter and the line to the pump.
That did not work, so I knew there was something else wrong.
2. I watched a YouTube video and saw that the drive gear on the oil pump might be stripped.
3. To verify that the oil pump was bad, I ordered a special clutch removal tool (the oil pump is under the clutch) and took it apart before ordering parts. The clutch removal tool is a disk with three studs on it that turns the clutch to break it free. It takes a 3/4 wrench to turn.
4. You will need to remove the bar and chain. Then, remove the spark plug and stuff some rope in the cylinder to keep the piston from moving when you do this. Please leave enough that you can pull the rope out when you are done!
5. To remove the clutch, turn it clockwise, not counterclockwise like a regular nut.
6. Once the clutch is removed you will find some washers, the chain drive gear, a needle bearing and the beneath all this, the oil pump. All of this is shown on the e-replacement's excellent parts breakdown.
7. The oil pump is held in place by two screws. It was locked up, and its plastic gear was stripped. The gear cannot be replaced. You have to buy the whole pump.
8. I ordered the pump along with a small needle bearing that supports the chain drive gear, from e-replacements.
9. Always inspect all your parts while you have the chainsaw apart. It is a good time to replace the chain drive gear if it is chewed up. The little needle bearing is pretty delicate and I would always take this chance to replace it.
10. Putting the saw back together was the reverse of disassembly and took about five minutes. I greased the needle bearing thoroughly before putting it all together.
11. This repair worked like a charm. I now have oil on the bar and the saw is cutting like new.

The clutch drum has the chain drive cog attached to it and it was just wore out. I only replaced the bearing because, I was there.
