my breezeblock saw the 360tes, don't think I've ever changed the sprocket. How worn do people let them get before changing - what trouble does it cause if worn?

 

I've got a piston stop for my 200T, will that be ok for the Echo and how do i get the clutch off the Echo?. I see RobD sells a special tool for an eye watering £20

Its like most special tools , at first it seems pricey but saves a lot of headaches.

Ive read that for some saws an old socket can be shaped with a grinder to locate inside the clutch, using an impact gun and no piston stop seemed ideal at first, until someone mentioned it can shear the woodruff key. Compared to Farmer Rods my sproket is almost new
