Hello,
After my last attempt to make a tool to pull seals on the flywheel side of an 026/260 failed I decided to throw in the towel and go to a local repair shop to have them perform their magic.
I first tried some rural saw shops that came highly recommended by the state forest service. One of these dealers sells more Stihl Pro product than anywhere else in the state. The few times that I have been in there I was surprised to see older saws and weedeaters being repaired and not scrapped like most of the urban dealers do. Neither this shop nor the other one actually had the seal puller.
I also tried 3 urban shops and only one of them had the tool. Luckily they aren't far away. So does this sound unusual to any of you? I would have thought that all of the servicing Stihl dealers should at least have the special tools required to work on their equipment.
Thanks,
Steve
