I need to know how to get this spring into my 015. This is the one that eBay said fit it.

Yeah, those are no fun. Gloves and a lot of swear words working from the outside to the inside. After the third full turn it gets easier.I need to know how to get this spring into my 015. This is the one that eBay said fit it.

Cut the pull handle off, put the spring holder with spring in the case with the U shaped part of the spring sticking out into the holder in the case, you either have to wind the rope up on the pulley first or leave a bit out and wind it up in the direction that causes more tension on the rope then snake it back the hole and insert in pulley. Good luck, at least it didn't fly apart, be carefull.I need to know how to get this spring into my 015. This is the one that eBay said fit it.

How long did that take?Least it's in its own spring holder.
Takes all of 5mins to wind one like this back up.
There is worse designs.

Says in post you quoted.How long did that take?
So... I just press it in and do everything that the service manual said? It is bent because I am trying to press it in.Cut the pull handle off, put the spring holder with spring in the case with the U shaped part of the spring sticking out into the holder in the case, you either have to wind the rope up on the pulley first or leave a bit out and wind it up in the direction that causes more tension on the rope then snake it back the hole and insert in pulley.

Ugh. I hate winding springs. When I did it on the first one, I tried to rewind it many times, but on the 14th attempt, the spring broke in half and EXPLODED flying at me and my air compressor. Wear them safety squints boys.Mine didn't have a holder. Had to rewind it by hand into the deep case and 2 hands wasn't quite enough![]()
the problem is winding the spring is such a deep depression as opposed to most any other starter assembly. Installing loose springs isn't that big a deal when done in a regular, shallow cover. The 015 eventually updated to a small, drop-in spring holder that didn't require disassembling the entire saw to replace.

Just because someone on Ebay says it will fit doesn't necessarily mean that it will!I need to know how to get this spring into my 015. This is the one that eBay said fit it.
