Tiny kArt Build

[r.mac]

Here is what I have to work with so far. I have some pics in an album on my profile page but here are some more. This is just a toy for my kid to tool around the neighborhood. The chonda gx26 fits tight in the frame and hopefully the gx31 will too. Not a lot of power but that's not important right now...

Pulled the gas tank, engine and awesome open pipe! (slips over the little box muffler really...). Paddle controls behind the steering wheel could use some more travel/action.

So I bought a gx31 honda engine but it had a 3" clutch and the gearbox on the clone has a 2"
I was able to switch flywheels and flywheel covers so now I can bolt the ever so slightly larger displacement honda engine into this kart. My question is; how do I get the clutch shoes off? Is there a trick or do I just have to slit some more knuckles?

Just impact gun the bolts that go through the shoes, should come off no problem.

thanks Badot they came right out
Well moving on I got the clutch shoes in, the transmission boted on and now just have to put it back in the kart.
Once I get this on the road and going i'll pull the two cycle techumseh from the snowblower and put it in the other frame.
I'll be hittin' you all up for suggestions on 5/8 clutches, and gearing recommendations.
