Please the model, type, and date code numbers. as I see what the setup is first before commenting much.
BTW Briggs are not that bad once you get acquainted with the way they do things. If it is the starter clutch I am thinking it is they do need torqued back to spec so the flywheel doesn't except it is suppose to shear. Now these starter clutches do need oiling or they will hang from fiction destroy the recoil assembly. First sign of trouble is a squealing noise. And there is tool for this that is much better than using a hammer and punch.
As the rewind assembly there is usually two metal ears holding the pulley in place that you can gently bend out so the pulley and (watch it) the spring can removed for servicing. Some these even have an extra ears in case you break one off.
