560xp swapping the flywheel housing?

Help! 

 

Hello, as the title suggests, i have a 560xp with a snapped chainbrake mount, so i need to replace the flywheel housing? The saw itself is sound and runs sweeeet as! However, the twat i graft with decided the lump of stem he'd picked up was to heavy to carry and dropped it of all places...... for feck sake!

 

Anyway, ive managed to get another flywheel housing from the same year saw and im fairly good with a spanner. So i was hoping someone could tell me, apart from a flywheel puller, gaskets and a tube of gasket seal, is there anything else i will need to do the job? Such as bearings and the likes, or am i able just to refit the origional bearings into the replacement housing?

 

Any help or advice will be appreciated , thank you!

You will need a crank seal, and possibly a bearing as it is this far apart, the cylinder base gasket will go again as they are quite thick and don't  tend to break, but i guess you will order a gasket set, there is a special tool to fit the seal so as to get it over the lip of the bearing.

Its the flywheel side of the casing that the chainbrake mount has broken and the replacement casing is the flywheel side? So im hoping i have the correct casing but im starting to flap a little since you've asked the question?

Give them the number of your saw when ordering , alternatively count the number of crank case bolts first .
