I'm not sure. That tiny flywheel side seal on the 026 is a booger!Any tricks to getting the small side seal out without having the tool?
Any tricks to getting the small side seal out without having the tool?
Thanks for posting Dave! No problem at all. I had never seen or even heard of those adapters for the 200T. Maybe that's why my buddy that I just loaned my puller to couldn't get the seals out of his saw!http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Stihl-T...0-4400-MS360-MS290-MS440-MS460-/321678886817?
part number is 5910-890-4400
the puller comes with 4 sets of jaws, it does not still come with the special jaws for the MS200t, the special jaws are sold individually even though you need a pair to use them and they are somewhat fragile, if you crank up the outward tension they will come apart, but nothing beats them for doing the job fast and easy
I sell them in pairs

my prices should be higher than a good local dealer, but many will not sell specialty tools and none are allowed to ship outside their own zip code
sorry to be a crass commercial goon on Brads excellent post

I normally try carefully with a screwdriver with angled tip first, if it doesnt work I do like you. Last one I did was flywheel side 242, trust me, they are small. One slap in one side, screwdriver and of it went.only way is to take a punch and punch one side down fast enough the pop the other side up. then pick it out the rest of the way. takes alot of practice but it can be learned. i don't have the tool and have replaced alot of seals this way without damaging the case or crank. much easier with the tool though!
The MS200t jaws have a small barbed wire that presses past the seal and then is rotated 90 degrees to hook under the lip of the seal, it is slick but because the other jaws work by applying outward pressure to grab the seal, it is easy to torque the plastic jaw to what seems like a reasonable level only to have it pop apart and it never goes back together exactly right as the plastic is soft and the metal is unyielding. They can also be used on other small saws where the standard jaw profiles don't work as well.Thanks for posting Dave! No problem at all. I had never seen or even heard of those adapters for the 200T.

It's in thereYou might mention that a good idea when doing vacuum and pressure tests is to rotate the crankshaft several times to ensure that there is not a "dynamic" leak.
