This echo clutch tool also worked on the 550xp 545 saws. Might
work on the 5000. It was for echo 4500 6700 I believe not 100%
sure, would need to look up.

Pay attention, 2 different echo tools and no guarantee it will
work on the 5000. Also look at the thread I bumped for you on
using sockets to make your own clutch removal tool.
I cant believe the punch method didnt work for you. Thats the
one I use as last resort and gets the most stubborn clutches
off.

would. But as soon as I saw a little ding in it, I stopped. I
fully admit that I am weird. :)

As you can see in the above pic of 5000 clutch it never had a
ding taken off with punch method before. You have to use a flat
end round punch, set flat and punch downward for best results.

Thanks for bumping the clutch tool thread. It gave me an idea
of what I had to do.
I went to my local guy and he got the clutch off for me using a
Shindawa clutch removal tool. He said he couldn't sell me one,
because he's not allowed to, and he paid high dollar for his.
So I took the clutch to autozone and matched up the right sized
diameter socket that would allow me to make my cuts in the
grooves of the socket, which was 22mm. It was nice to have the
clutch off of the saw for that part of things.
I marked it off, used the Dremel to made my cuts, kept them
*just* on the small side, then used a sanding rod to bring them
out to the right size, and now I have the perfect clutch removal
tool for the saw. (It's still untested, but it sure looks like
a winner)
It's past dinner time, so I'll get everything together tomorrow
and make some cuts with .325 -- Then when my 3/8 bar comes in a
few days, I'll be able to swap out the rim sprocket and feel the
3/8 powar!
My local Stihl shop told me that can't give me true RS non
safety chain in .325 .050 but he said their new "mini hump" cuts
way better than their old safety chain, but that their real
selection of .325 is in .063.
He told me he can give me whaaaatever I want in 3/8. So knowing
that, I may end up just running 3/8 even in longer lengths.

Good job.
When I ran that chainsaw it always had 3/8" chain.
