I have a Stihl 020AV saw that is not engaging when pulling the cord. I removed the rewind starter and both pawl springs were laying in the flywheel. The service manual says to remove the bolts holding the pawl and springs to the flywheel. From what I found, it seems like most folks take the flywheel off and use a punch to remove these bolts. Can the springs be replaced without removing the flywheel?

Just take the block by your local Stihl dealer and have them pop off the flywheel for you.
Most would do it for free.

HarleyT - Appreciate the response. I guess I not concerned with actually taking the flywheel off as much as, do I have to in order to replace the springs.

Pressing them out from the rear is the only way I can think of to do it. I am guessing from the silence, that nobody else has a different way.

And unfortunately the pins and pawls are NLA. Not sure on the springs. The pawls tended to break on those little powerhouses. Better do some spring searching before you get time invested.
