Okay so I'm out breaking in my Savage 4.6 today. All is going fine and dandy. Then suddenly the clutch would not engage but the engine was run and would rev as normal. I bring it home cause, this is obviously a problem. I dismount the engine, remove the clutch bell and the springs on the clutch shoes a grinded to nothing. The part that touches the shaft of the engine to be exact is what was grinded away.

My fly wheel is loose and wobbly and the "clutch nut" http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDLF5&P=7 (not sure what that's called exactly) is stuck on and I can't get it off.

So I have a couple of questions:

1. How can I get the "clutch nut" off?

2. What caused this, so I can prevent it in the future?

Any tips or help will be greatly appreciated.
