replacing a Stihl quick chain adjuster

[RipRap]

I searched but couldn't find an answer. I'm replacing the quick chain adjuster with the regular side adjuster parts. There is an insert, part #1123 021 2800, that covers the area where the replacement parts fit into.

How do you remove the insert?

Thanks

Pry it out with a screwdriver, should come right out.

So I should pry with a screwdriver on the left side? or on the bottom? or try to pry on the rear by using a hooked edge?

Got it. I went in from the top and pried it out from the backside. It is mighty tight and I wanted to be sure not to crack that casing.

Many thanks!

Yep, whichever way it comes out works. Did this to a 250 last week, that little wheel gear thing-a-ma-jig is $80. Had a new cover, bar, and chain with adjuster for $73
