What's on your bench today?

So the AV mount on my T540 finally broke at the chassis today. Well out of warranty.

 

I know it's a common problem so wondered if there was a recognised bodge rather than stripping the saw to replace the undercarriage?

I know the issue and know no fix other than changing the undercarriage. There have been various mods in this area so the new part should stop it happening again!

Fiddly but it isn't too bad, just leave as much connected as possible:thumbup:

I've misplaced my best hammer. It's going in to our dealers I reckon.

How does one go about removing crank seals without the proper tool? Wood screw or screwdriver?

Awl or woodscrew will do it if you don't have the correct tool!

Not too difficult to remove them, however it is a little more taxing to re fit them, if you do not have the correct tool you need to make sure to drive them in nice and square, also do not fit them the wrong way round ( easily done ).

And don't we know it. Having spent £14 on 346 seals only to bugger them on insertion, the language turns a bit blue. A good selection of tools, tubing, big sockets etc. The 346 has a half lip around the bearing almost forcing the seal in at an angle......Grrrrr

 

The worst ones are the ones that you have to force the inside face over a lip whilst inserting it in to the recess. There are manufacturers tools do help or the inventive will just find a suitable method that works but that is what makes some better than others and guarantees that the internal spring doesn't come out on insertion.

 

I got the proper Stihl removal tool off ebay half price, they do come up sometimes but are useless on MS200s:001_rolleyes:
