How do I lock this clutch so it does not rotate? I am trying to disassemble to find a way to re-insert this small pin (shown in pic- I cannot find ANYPLACE beneath the top plate shown with hole that it fits into). Even if back tire is held in place, the middle bolt shown in clutch rotates (I am trying to lock in place to loosen). This has to be a newbie question, so any help appreciated- thanks.

It looks to be the pivot pin for the shoe... You could use thin screw drivers to manipulated that shoe into the proper position to align it with the hole in the disk. Maybe...
But just inserting it in there will only assure it floats back out when running, causing some real damage to the cover. (well, I suppose an arc strike on the end of the pin, once installed might hold it???)
I'd use a pneumatic air impact wrench to spin the bolt out to take it apart.
Possibly LH thread???
If you don't have air, transport it to a shop that does... or try an electric or battery op impact... some of them are quite good.
Good luck

Here is the tool if you don't have one.....

Feldee,
Use an impact wrench spinning counter clockwise to remove the retaining nut that holds the centrifugal clutch on. Coat that pin with a little epoxy before you press it in so it doesn't fall out. It takes a 17mm socket. An impact wrench will unzip that bolt so fast you don't need to worry about the engine rotating..its that quick

Alf forgot the NUT before using the fancy tool !
Is that the recommended tool, Alf? I'll order one tomorrow if you think it's the best deal on one... It's tool-time for me, again. I gotta get bicycle tools, also. A two pin cassette wrench, and the crank puller for square drive cranks on MTB's. Probably also a thin wrench for working on axle nuts so I don't have to grind one down, too.
I better look for a tool thread heading, or start a thread... Got too many questions!

As cheaply as they are made, that is the proper tool to use. Most kits come with them, at least the ones I've bought. Since they are cheaply made, make sure that the tool is threaded correctly, sometimes they want to cross thread. If that happens, take a 3 corner file to clean the threads up. Yes you can get the nut off with a impact but this tool is needed. The dowel pin will fit in the hole (see pictures) and you can peen it from the back. I'm pretty sure that something like JB wield won't work, but you never know. BY the way when you install the woodruff keys, super glue them into the key way. Makes for a easier instillation. Check around for price..they are all the same..this was the first one I ran across and wasn't concerned about the price as I was the picture.

The removal of the nut has already been covered...I hate to repeat.
Thanks for all of the replies, I played with it for a week before posting and the pin did not fit in any openings (I could find) underneath it which is why I am taking it apart. I started work on a painting project so it will be a week or so before I get back to the bike. The input is a great help, thanks again.
