Have an o26 where you can see the outer race of one crank bearing moving slightly when crank is spun. When rebuilding, is Loctite sleeve locker or peening necessary?
That can work, but it will eventually spin again.
I see you found two of your stolen saws now. Did LEO catch up with the thief yet?+1
The case half is junk. You can make it work, but it's kaput. Can usually find 026/260 case halves on eBay.
I've actually used JB weld on a wallowed bearing pocket on a 385xp (under owner's guidance). Permanently sealing bearing in place. It lasted for years of heavy use.
I've actually found 3/5. The 011av is gone. Sold on eBay to places unknown.I see you found two of your stolen saws now. Did LEO catch up with the thief yet?

And, nope. I've been angrily surprised by how inept the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office has turned out to be. Luckily, I've got an amazing community of friends here on AS that have really stepped up and did so much. The detective actually seemed annoyed that I kept calling her with leads. Going through LE and eBay to get the last MS261c back. So... That'll take a while. But it's safe and I've been in contact with the with the honest gentleman who bought it.
Back to the topic at hand . . . I'm going to try notching the outer race and the bearing pocket and using J B Weld and/or some kind of pins to keep the bearing in place (same principle as anchoring the mains on a VW Beetle).
It's worth a try! but may start leaking air even if it doesn't spin.Back to the topic at hand . . . I'm going to try notching the outer race and the bearing pocket and using J B Weld and/or some kind of pins to keep the bearing in place (same principle as anchoring the mains on a VW Beetle).
The material is much too thin and soft for a set screw. Because of space and size the options are very limited. The proper fix would be to machine it out and adding a sleeve. But again not enough material.Can you drill and tap a hole anywhere and fit a grub screw?

Like I said definitely worth a try.I think I can avoid that if done carefully.
