Hello to all. Made a stupid mistake taking off front sprocket, and I accidentally left the bucking bar and bearing in while trying to remove the sprocket. Was tightening and then I heard a loud crack/ snap noise. Loosened it up immediately and the bucking bar was stuck in the end of the sprocket removal tool, and the ball bearing rolled out. Now the clutch is stuck in the engaged position. The motor wont catch at all. What did I break, and is it an easy fix? I have the engine off and disassembled up to removing the large and small gears, but the sprocket removal tool wont thread on to release the large gear. the threads have a flat spot and wont tighten. ??? should I just get a new lower engine??
