How to replace bar tip

[JTM]

I’ve never had this happen in 40 years of running a saw. My bar got pinched in such a way that the nose sprocket will not break loose. It is a Tsumura. I have no idea how to replace it. Please give me instructions and a source for a new nose sprocket. Thanks.

Some pictures of the damaged sprocket would help.

Buy a tip and punch the rivets out .

Found a replacement. Madsdens has a neat little instruction.

It is helpful to drill the rivets for home disassembly

Yep...lots of misinformation. I tried getting some "youtube instruction" on a "smart TV" that this old foggie could not figure out. I ended up calling India and she made me feel like the old dipstick I am. I guess that was some "positive reinforcement"
