Stihl Wrenching
Apart from protecting the case beneath the muffler, it prevents the case gasket from burning... Milling? you NEED it...
The great part is that I bought it for about the cost of a new set of bearings and seals!
Brad you have always seemed resourceful but this is bordering on thievery
How did you do that?????????????

...it prevents the case gasket from burning...
The work has begun. I tore the parts 084 all the way down to bare case halves.
. :help:
You did'nt say how you spit the case.Do you have the
case splitter tool ? Did you make one ?
Tools - make as I need ! If possible.
Jug on the move- SUGGEST YOU OPEN OUTSIDE -bean-bag foam
Looking good Brad .............Its time you put the new tank/handle on it.......
-----------------------------------------------I drive the alignment pins out. Then it's a simple matter of slightly heating the case around the bearing and tapping the crank out with the bearing. I don't even heat it enought to burn the paint. Be careful not to heat the bearing too much because some of them have plastic retainers spacing the balls out internally. It doesn't take much to get it out when you heat the case. It's just like the reassembly process where I put the case in the oven and the bearing in the freezer.

I tried that on my late model 088 (like the 880) that has the steel insert in the clutch side... it's SOB.... hot or not. I had to make a rear support, use anti-sieze paste on the bearing and use a big hydraulic press.. and I even bought a new "specially sized" bearing - stihl has them ground a few 10ths less on the OD.
