ur surposed to remove that circlip and drive sproket weekly to grease the bearing.

 

Does anybody remember when husky saws had a hollow end to the crankshaft and a hole in the side so you could shoot grease into the bearing without taking it apart!! What happened to that bit of genius?!

Certain saws still do I believe but it may be me remembering a 385XP I have just ported, the 3120 had a one way valve in the crankshaft exhausting fuel/oil in to the needle bearing.....in many ways, Husqvarna are quite inventive in new technology!

They must have started doing it again then! The 560xp I was using a couple of years ago didn't have it which was a pain coz the clutch is outboard!
