Hi Andy, yes mate, I forgot that the Rover housing differs from the older Scotty's with the captive cotter pin....I also appreciate what AndyOz has replied...but using bolts to secure the clutch halves is not the answer, as it throws out the balance and vibration is the enemy of these machines....having a nut or bolt drop out due to vibration and then mowing over it can spell disaster for the cylinder reel. Many$$$ to replace!

There are 2 ways to get the clutch off, the easy way or the hard way....you have chosen the hard way

My advice....replace the cutter shaft, sprocket and chain and clutch fork and handle....remove the engine and replce the new parts in the reverse of removal, as per my original post. This will make final adjustments easier.
The parts can be purchased from the OutdoorKing online store...located in "Site Links" navigation panel on the left.
Select Scott Bonnar frame parts.

Just remember to measure the diameter of the engine output shaft when ordering the housing....If the Rover housing with the set screws is not listed...just send a PM to Bruce...he will source one for you.
