Great part and easy repair
Great OEM Echo clutch drum. My old one was severely grooved from a friend running the saw in the dirt. Replaced clutch, drum and bar and chain and saw is like new again. Shipping was surprisingly quick. Highly recommend buying from Eraplacement parts!

Drum clutch was the correct part
Even though the replacement drum clutch was the correct part, the replacement bearing provided was a millimeter to long and it made the clutch have to much movement and make it sloppy and unsuitable. I had to use the old bearing.
The service provided was very good and the parts arrived within the timeframe stated.

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.
