There are special stud extractors but the easiest way is to take the two bar nuts, a socket that fits and an open ended spanner that fits. You screw the first nut right down the stud, screw the second one on top of it and 'lock' the two together with the spanner and the socket. You then use the open ended spanner on the lower nut to unscrew the stud. Once removed, socket and spanner to 'undo' the nuts from one another and they can be screwed off the stud by hand.

As Agg said on stihls.

On some husvarnas etc its a crankcase strip or feed them in thru the oil tank which can be fiddly. They have a locating head that fits in the crankcase and aren't threaded.

Knowing what saw would help?

Good point - I presumed it was the 056.

+1 for this method. It's just easier.
