I have been trying to locate a seal puller like this on in the video: Chainsaw Seal Replacment & Vacuum Testing - YouTube anyone know where to get one of these? Or does anyone know a toll that works just as good?
Crank seal puller!

That's my video. You can only buy that puller from a Stihl dealer. Some dealers won't even sell them to you. They're very pricey too.

I just want to borrow a stihl puller long enough to get the dimensions and make my own.:msp_smile:

Anyway to get them out without the tool? I have the clutch side out on my 044 but the flywheel side I just don't see a way without screwing it up.
There are multiple threads on the subject if you do a search.
I use a chain hoist and 7 lb. maul on those tough little flywheel side seals.

Zogs,
This is the one that has been suggested a few times here on A.S: < Lisle Corporation > (#58430 BACK SHAFT TYPE SEAL PULLER) - under $20 on a famous book selling website, or probably at your local NAPA dealer.
But I also like the one Fish recommends - Post #18 in this similar A.S. thread: < http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/194407.htm >

Thanks. All I had was a 6 lb maul but it worked. After searching I discovered a way. It's not that I'm too lazy to search but the search feature is not that great for pinpointing things unless you get lucky. I had to read a hundred threads today looking for info. Not that I mind but when there's work to do I go for the quick answer if possible. Not that it matters now, none of the crappy dealers around here (3 of them) carry oil seals for an 044. Have to order them. Cheaper online anyways.
Thanks for the help
:rolleyes2:
I would stick with OEM seals from your dealer.

It might be cheaper to buy the complete set of gaskets for that model. It will include all gaskets and both crank seals.
