    Clutch/sprocket roller bearing grease?

    I have a stihl ms 270 and I believe the roller bearing under the sprocket needs lubricant. What should I use?

    Cutting with a dull chain is like taking a shower and putting your dirty underwear back on.

    Good tools cost money, cheap tools cost more

    Dang, How many Cubic Dollars is that saw?

    That sounds like a great idea, let me saddle up my Unicorn and I'll go with you...

    I always use regular bearing grease on a Q-tip. You don't need much.

    there might even be a weep hole on the shaft just for that purpose. I use my bar nose greaser and press it into the hole at the end if the shaft. Seems some brands/models have it and some don't. I'm pretty sure my husky 359 has it. Not sure about stihl.

    I just use 30 weight motor oil, it's in a oil can, so I just squeeze the lever a few times and pump it full of oil. Works excellent. I do this every other time I sharpen the chain. Part of my maintenence scedule for the saws. Never had a problem. (knock on wood, don't need Murphy to fall on me anytime soon)

    I use the red high temp wheel bearing grease in all my bearings. The Husqvarna 372 shop manual shows to just use grease, does not specify any particular type of grease.

    Hold on a minute... are we talking about the sproket on the nose of the bar, or the one that the clutch drum rides on? If it's the former, my post above is what I do. If it's the latter, I use some good bearing grease.

    edit: stupid me... I read the title of the thread. The first post was a cluster####. I apologise for that.
