I've gone thru so many of those heads from having problems with the gears which has lead me to switch from stihl long reach to other brands.. helpful vid tho 👍
@chrispaxton5199 hi. I normally just replace the complete cover as it's cheaper than finding the bearing, ordering it, removing the normally exploded bearing and fitting a new one. They are about £30, so if I was to spend 1 hr replacing the bearing, it would cost more than a new cover. The main problem is when the bearing explodes, there is only the outer casing is left, and little to grip. I suppose possibly knocking it in on one side might do it.
@chrispaxton5199 I have a good idea what it would look like, but I'll see if I have a scrapped cover and try to remove it in a video. Thanks for the idea for a video.
@chrisallison1706 When I made this video, the parts cost £x amount. They have increased in cost since then from the same seller. So, to include prices, it would be a snap shot of prices from this time. Parts numbers and links to parts are better for viewers 😁
Your video was very helpful
Thanks so much you the only one that has a info about it ...
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for that great advice I’ll look for new cover
Is there anyway I can send a picture of my bearing and casing to see if you can help me more

If you could mention cost of parts that would be helpful. Cheers
