It don't have to be new, got some hospital bills to take care of first and a little more healing to go and i will be ready. Like you said all the saws i own now are used ones.

There's a few of them. They work really well for when you tap the seals in with them they put them at exactly the right depth...

Little bit, well ok, quite alot if you count everything in that one drawer but the presses aren't that high. Remember too the guy at home doesn't need all those things, at the shop they a must haves...

Hmmm, if you found a cure for CAD, you should patent and market it.

Seal pullers vary quite alot, all depends on how much the dealer wants to make on it. Its not really a retail item but some do sell them. The dealer is looking at around 135.00. What he tacks on at time of sale is up to him..

You better call ahead and make sure he has one for sale, most dealers don't stock repair tools, shoot some won't even sell them at all for fear of losing repair work. I think thats kinda silly myself, I like it when they try to do it themselves and have to bring it in for me to fix their mess ups,LOL

Again, Excellent post.The second saw I rebuilt was my 039.I bought a brand new oem p/c from my dealer for $140.00(said it was on the shelf for years.)i snatched it up.I didn`t use the kit cause the saw was too beat up and old for such a nice kit.I bought a used cylinder from one of you fine members and a piston from Greece.I`m saving the new oem for a newer smoked ms 390.I found, that as a home do-it- yourselfer, that the clamshell engine is more appealing because I could rebuild the whole saw without splitting the case.I still haven`t split a case on a Stihl(or any other saw).I do have a nice ms260 pro that needs new bearings, but I`m gonna wait for your 066 pics.Are you gonna show how to do it with minimal tools(homeowner) or how a shop would do it?Either way, I can`t wait.Thanks for sharing your brain with us.

Tommy, when looking at the pic of your tool box are the seal drivers at the bottom of the pic?, also are they something you buy through stihl or at a auto supply store? I've seen the drivers that husky makes but I think you need one for just about every different saw thats made, Oh do the drivers fit over the crank?

Are you sure you arent my dealer? You sound a lot like him. lol. Well minus the Elvis part
He helps out when we are stumped, and AS is of no help.
Interested in doing another?
Excellent thread! I have a straight gassed ms310 sitting in my garage and was thinking of making it a 390. Your tutorial makes it look fairly easy.

Here is my Burned 310 with the Northwoods C&P sitting with it. I am trying to decide weather to tear into it myself or send it down to Stumpy. I recieved the 310/390 shop manual but I am still a bit scared...
