Stehl tools

Chris B. Stihl Special Tools I was in a "very reputable Stihl Dealer", and asked one of their mechanics about the "crankcase tools".

He replied that the Stihl tools were "too expensive" and uses a regular press etc. Saab does the same thing. Guess it makes the job "Fool Proof". A good machinist could copy the originals. Sep 27, Doesn't anyone use anything but Stihl brand tools or have techniques they use to take out cranks, bearings and seals?

On separating the case halves; sometimes they just come apart but other times you may have to use a small propane torch. Heat will ruin the bearing cages as they are usually plastic, but chances are if you're splitting the case then you intended to change bearings anyway.

I don't think you can change bearings with out splitting the cases. To change seals only, I do this. Use a small punch or chisel to drive one end of the seal in.

This should cause the other side to pop up a little. Then you can use a screwdriver or chisel to pry up and lift the seal out. On seal installation do as others have stated and use a socket to drive them in. Just be sure they stay perpendicular to the crankshaft. To install bearings and assemble the saw. A little heat will help. Put the bearings in the oven at Put the crank in the freezer for a while. Wear gloves, take everything out and put it together.

If you don't have a press, use a C clamp and some large sockets for press cups. I know it sounds okie but it works well. You can also use the C clamp to assemble the case halves around the crank. Just be sure everything spins freely when you're done.

Good luck with your project. Jun 4, RGordon New Member. Joined Jun 4, Messages 2 Location Asheville. Stihl Clutch Removal without Lock Strip?
