dead echo CS350TES chainsaw?

[aiden]

Hi

At work today and the stud that holds bar nut has sheared off. Good reason to spend on 540xp which should arrive tomorrow:thumbup1: . Anyone know if this threaded bar can be replaced? if it can i was going to weld nut on to unscrew the stud.

thanks

It will almost certainly unscrew for replacement- no harm trying. I would consider grinding flat, centre punching, drilling and then using a stud extractor. Would probably work out easier than welding and trying not to heat the plastic surrounding it up too much- that stud will heat right up if you weld it and damage the surrounding plastics, as well as the bit it's seated in.

If its like the saws I have its a push fit ( tight ) on a plain section in the crank case half that forms the oil tank . You just drive them back into the tank and retrieve them with a magnet or a bit of bent welding rod or similar . They don't " unscrew " they have a head which stops them pulling out when you tighten .

Find the other end of the stud - this can be in a fuel tank, by the side of the muffler etc. If they are push in, the ends will be square or threaded if they are screw in.

 

You may be able to get two nuts on the end of the remaining stud end, stilsons, plumbers grips/mole grips may do it or clean the nut and stud and use loctite 270 on it and let it go off - then try to unscrew it.

 

The easyout stud remover will also shift it but don't snap it in the hole - also possible too file two flats and use a spanner on it:thumbup:

So they are screw in - need to get a good grip on it and unscrew!

 

I usually put the new one in with stud lock loctite!

I know of someone how had a lad how would always tighten bar nuts to tight with saw spanner the answer he came up with was to cut the screw drive shaft shorter:sneaky2:.

It's still got 1 nut holding it on:laugh1:.
