Stihl MS250 Bar studs

[pleasant]

Whatever you do DON'T start tapping out the holes! Stihl offer oversized bar studs, as this is a common issue. All you need to do is remove the existing spinning studs from the body and simply screw in these oversize studs. Ensuring the new stud is lined up square with the existing hole, and use some locking fluid. Use two nuts locked together on the new stud to allow you to wind it gently in. If you cannot remove the nut on the end of the original stud that's spinning, then with a hacksaw or dremel cut a slot in the end of the stud and hold in place with a screwdriver whilst you use your spanner to remove the nut.

 

Part number of stihl oversize studs for the ms250 is:

 

1123 664 2405

 

I have done this repair loads of times and last longer than original

That’s certainly a handy one to try and remember.

Hmmm thanks wonder if it’s worth ordering some in advance of needing them?
