I thought you weren't doing the bearings. You'll have to split the cases to replace the bearings.What about the bearing on the clutch side?

No, the seal can be pulled from the "outside". There is a specific Stihl seal puller, but they're expensive. You can use a drywall screw to carefully puncture the metal part of the seal (I make a starter hole with an awl) and get the screw started into the seal. Do this on both sides, then use pliers to pull on the screws to pull the seal out. Be careful not to go in to far with the screw and hit the bearings.Does the bearing have to be removed to replace the seals?

The other way is to cut a slot into the end of a flat head screwdriver to make a hook. Then push the hook into the seal and grab the edge and pull.
You can lightly tap the seals down to make sure they are broken free before you start to pull.
fixed it for youThe sthil flywheel puller is about $200, fits a lot of their saws.
My favorite dealer will pull and install seals on a CLEAN saw with the clutch and flywheel off for $20.
Make sure your crank bearings are OK before you do the seals.
An aftermarket "Stihl" flywheel puller is around 20 bucks. The Stihl brand puller is a little more.stihl pn# is 1110 890 4500 for that flywheel puller...if theres a dealer out there getting 200 bucks for those flywheel pullers that's quite a nice margin!!! I don't think his 20 dollar quote was that far off in all honesty.

Yep... the seal puller is around $200, flywheel puller is around $20... needed cup #2 this morning.
If he's the only dealer, charge anything he wants really. There are several dealers here that are horrible... The one guy who isn't so bad charges $90 an hour shop rate because he can and they pay! The line is out the door waiting for "his service" because he's not a total jerk, just somewhat of a jerk. Won't hesitate to tell you your welcome to go down the street, there reply is instantaneous... %&*& NO!
They should make a Large/Small Stihl flywheel puller like this. One on each side. Then I wouldn't have to have two separate pullers in my drawer. I think I'll send an email to Heartland and suggest that.
I know guys here in Va Beach that used to drive up there just because of the bozos here... and after all... Its Tom!Sounds like Tom T.!!!
Try the beg for manuals thread in the sticky'sWhere might one obtain the schematics for the 036 & the 046 ? My local dealer refuses to install the aftermarket parts I bought on eBay. The lawnmower shop a few blocks from my place can install them, but wants the exploded view.
Is it just a coincidence that the rebuild cost is the same as replacement cost ?
