md 320 av mc.culloch strimmer?

I have removed the shaft but the clutch unit seems to be stopping the 2nd cover which has the recoil starter in it from coming off. The clutch has central socket screw but I can't lock the crank to loosten it off and it could be a l.h. thread. I need to get at a dead coil unit.

Sorry for the delay but I was looking for some info and found this thread,
You have more than likely done it by now, but the drive shaft comes off easily enough. Take the screws out of the cover in front of the engine and the drive shaft will come out with this, remove the second cover and you can remove the drive shaft coupling if needed by simply unscrewing this. The ignition unit is right in front of you.
