Hi everyone, i was wondering how you get these things off, they feel like they will snap if i bend them off [emoji23]

 

Many thanks!

Think they are just a push fit, so should lever out to get to bolts. spuds your man to check with or look at parts book

Yep, just prise them out with a small screwdriver or similar.

they are just tabs to stop getting crap in the holes of the exhaust, they were never needed in older saws and only needed now due to the use of bio oil that bakes rock hard and fills the T27 drive holes full of crap so that it needs picking out to get the bolts out to remove the exhaust.

I bent the end of one of the Stihl carb adjusting screwdrivers to 45 degree angle and off they pop. 

Oh and by the way, hello to all on the forum. Love the Chainsaws forum, but then I love chainsaws.
