Leave the nut on the shaft & undo it say 1 1/2 turns. Then but it. Doing what you did will & can damage the shaft & thread

[@glennhelmstetter8692]

Is there a woodruff key or is it machined into the flywheel?

[@da324]

Same procedure as a blower?

[@matthewharmer1656]

That's how to damage the end of the crankshaft !!

[@willierothchild2674]

how do you tighten that flywheel up? my problem is the flywheel moves around inside, grab hold of it and it moves back and forth.

[@samharris9559]

Use a plastic piston stop, and watch out of the cheap Amazon ones because they get smashed. Apparently, you don’t need to jam the piston if you’re using an impact driver tho.

Is the nut on astilh to 360 as concrete cut off saw reverse thread

[@NJSInstructional]

I'm not sure, however, I most likely will be as it helps to reduce the rick of the nut coming loose during operation.

[@shermanhofacker4428]

An air impact tool applied to the shaft will pop it off instantly with no possibility of damage.

[@NJSInstructional]

Great tip, thank you.

[@Hippie459MN]

DON'T EVER DO THIS! You will ruin the end of the crankshaft! Either use a brass punch or put the flywheel nut back on about half way and hit that. DO NOT hit the end of the crankshaft directly with a steel bolt or punch or the hammer directly!

[@templarfarmer7755]

if you are replacing the whole crankshaft/bearings/seals etc it doesn’t matter so much lol…id like to see what he does getting the case apart…😂

[@tonygray8648]

really easy way is to remove the chain cover,and flywheel nut then using a copper hammer give the crank a sharp tap the shock loosens the flywheel and that's it.

[@StickA-yd4fp]

Doesn't that mess with the timing on the coil?

[@NJSInstructional]

I don't believe so, the shaft is keyed so they flywheel positioning will always remain the same.

[@mortnoub6609]

No mention of a keyway. Is there not one?

[@reececarr2784]

Yes there is , which helps to install
But is the whole flywheel n synch with coil( there’s a magnet inside flywheel

[@reececarr2784]

Yes

[@michaeld7072]

Did not work for me :/
Edit: it did work! I beat that bolt until it was bent and then it finally came off. Thank you!

[@NJSInstructional]

Glad it worked out!

[@michaeld7072]

@@NJSInstructional do you have a full video of reassembling this whole chainsaw? Your videos have been the most helpful by far.

[@NJSInstructional]

@@michaeld7072 Yes I do, th-cam.com/video/FCZfBkghiIs/w-d-xo.html

[@TheKillerbee78]

Never, never hit the crankshaft with a hammer like you showed your chance to destroy your bearing and seals of the cranksgaft are 99% !!

[@templarfarmer7755]

ikr…watched this to see if he did it right..not! lol
