Posted by David Schatz, Owner - DHS Equipment on Mar 28th 2017

The clutch on the Wacker VP1340, VP1550, and VP2050 is very simple to service, but requires Wacker's clutch removal tool, part number 0115008. This tool should be used to remove the clutch. We do not recommend any other method of removing the clutch. 

Removal:

  • Remove drive belt
  • Remove screw (30) and washers (38) securing clutch (10) to engine shaft. Remove clutch from engine shaft using the clutch removal tool (4). Use care not to damage clutch during removal
  • If necessary, remove screw (84) and washers (85, 40) to remove beltguard plate (7)
