I have read all posts so far and it seems alot of you have no idea what your talking about.I don't understand this wrecking the threads or stripping the threads thing.I sold my 266SE that I used for over 20 years and I cleaned it the same way and had no stripped threads or worn out threads.Maybe some of you tighten everything too tight.I worked on the neighbors saw a few weeks ago and tried to loosen the bar nuts and I think he put them on with an air wrench.I showed him how to tighten them the right way.I have an 44 Rancher I got used in 1983 that I clean the same way and no stripped threads.You guys can spend endless hours on this site replying to threads but can't take a few minutes to clean your saws the right way is just anal to me.I will keep cleaning my saws the same way I have always cleaned them regardless.I don't see how you can clean a 346 air cleaner without taking it off.I have to get ready for work now but will be back tonight with more.Heres my 266SE I sold a couple years ago with no stripped anything.
