It could go right back to those crankcase seals .Husqvarna on some models use a square step in the crank shaft the seal rides on .Stihls have little chamfer in the seal step but Husky not so much . Much gnashing of teeth over those damned things .It would be very easy to roll the seal lip if...

Well they can be frustrating at times .Sometimes you just have to set them on the self until you regain your cool . With me sometimes that might take a couple of years .

I always put the seals in last myself also . Now I can't comment much on Huskeys because I've never split one .On the Stihls however I've done it several ways .Bearings first ,then the crank or bearings on the crank then the cases .Either method works .

A nail would work but I use either an ice pick or a prick punch . Speaking of that though in one one of tool boxes at my shop is a slide hammer with half a dozen different screw on heads used to pull seals . It's at the shop though and I seldom work on saws there so I've never used it for that...

There's a lot of methods to get the job done .I don't think it really matters so long as it gets the job done . Kind of like my drywall screw or Andys' packing puller to jerk a seal .They both work .

If you heat the case and freeze the bearing often times they will just fall in .

I've never had one beat me, annoy me yes . Now granted some might sit for a long time before the parts come around but in a given amount of time they do .

Well okay since I'm over my little pout let me rephrase things . Let it be fully understood I mean nothing derogarory about how the seal was installed .I use a little grease or oil on a q-tip myself but I'm not saying that's the only method that would work . B had a liberal amount of grease on...

No problem ,I'll drop as well as any further advice .Just trying to help but evidently it's not wanted .

I wasn't infering the thing was assembled wrong .It's just a mystery it blowed the seal and there has to be a reason . If it's any consulation I have an 038 Mag under the bench that is a seal blower .Why I have no idea .The last time it blew it out metal ring and all .I red loctited that SOB...

Yep I was just posing a hypothetical question about that thing blowing the seal .Additionaly some info on sealed high speed bearing applications I added just for a back ground on my idea . Actually I don't know if my idea has a thing to do with it or not ,stab in the dark .:)

On high speed precision sealed bearings used on machine spindles they blow out all the grease except what the ball and surface of the races will hold before they ever are put in service .Completely sealed all the lube they will ever need is on the surface of the balls and races .Sounds odd I...

I thought of something which could have some merit .Grease is basically oil with a thickener .As such it really doesn't flow like oil . Now what would happen if per chance a caged ball bearing were stuffed with grease ,seal seated and rolled over at 10,000 RPM .Would it be possible that the...

Some times they come out of it .I have a Mac 700 in the shed that was so stiff I could hardly turn it .Kerosine for a month in the cylinder,in the crankcase .My George it revived,one new clutch side seal . I robbed a few incidentals from a doner with a needled piston .Fact is it did a stint as a...

I thought of something else .As a normal rule from what I've seen the clutch side is the easiest to install .The flywheel side is the one with a square shoulder on it .B greased it up well enough though and I assume so the clutch side too . Now if I remember the clutch side was blown out...

About the only thing I do differently is to punch a little hole in the seal with an awl rather than drill a hole .To pull the things with a screw I have a tiny little pry bar .Actually it is design to remove wood working trim .Trivia ,any way that gets the seal out works,B did okay .:)

Well it would take a case split .Rather involved if you've never done one .About the only way to make sure the crank is true is to chuck it between centers and use a dial indicater on it .If it were off just 5 thou that would be enough to screw things up . IMO a donor yes, new parts no .Not my...

Hey you gave it a shot at least .Hell it could have a bent crank from a fall or somebody beating on it . They don't have to be bent much too really screw things up .So it's no worse off than it was . I suppose the top end is good .Maybe one will come along with a good bottom and a cooked top...

Well chit happens .You did fine on the seals though .It appears to be then the clutch side bearing .

Usually Scotts real good . From what I gather though he's been up to his azz in alligators with work etc . I got that 200t crank case for Toms' saw from a guy in Minnisota who evidently has a salvage biz ."saw again " ,Dan Dean is the guys name .I have no idea if he has a biz or just sells on...
