I have had similar situations. Since I rebuild as a hobby for a little extra money, I have time to waite and search on ebay.
The last Echo CS520 took over a month to find at a good price.

I have had to use heat a few times. Usually use a small propane burner. I might add that I seldom tighten the clutch with tool. Just spin it tight and REMEMBER to engage chain brake before starting. Then rev about 1/3 throttle with brake released and engage brake or start cutting.

No not yet.  I've tried heating with propane torch and when I really put pressure on it with a ratchet it feels like something is bending but springs back.  Afraid to break the con rod and make the repair worse than it is.
Thanks,

Ok so took it to a dealer to pop the clutch. Got the P&C apart and my heart sank scoring!  I was sold this saw a s a runner too.
