Let me ask for help again -

I was trying to figure out how to get this part off that I’m pointed to in the photo - Does it come off AFTER you remove the drive pulley cover ??
Thanks again for all your help !

No need to remove the pulley cover for clutch adjustment. I take a wood handle small hammer or dowel and place the wood handle in one of the scallops and tap it counterclockwise. The wood doesn’t scar the chrome. Once it breaks loose it easily twists off. Your clutch adjustment is in there.

If it's too tight to turn off by hand, you can also use a rubber mallet and gently hit it on the pointy edge of the scallops.

Make sure you hammer it back tight too, or you will be buying a new one.

Great — Thanks again. I intend to check & lubricate the ramp if needed. Just wanted to hear the correct method

Sometimes wearing rubber gloves will give you a better grip. I use a rubber strap that I bought at home depot. Like for removing an oil filter.
