Thanks!

I have the stihl case splitting tools and you should be able to be get them from your local stihl dealer. They work excellent, but there are a ton of a cheaper homegrown methods displayed here on AS in the past, that seem to get the job done also.

I have an 066 and an 064 project to do, maybe i'll just have the Stihl dealer split the cases. It's hard enough finding time to fix saws let alone rebuild them from the bottom up.

It can be done in a after noon if all the parts are there...

Exactly! Heres one I did the other day in an afternoon. I Actually upgraded an 064 to a Ported 660!

And on another note. all of the Dealers within 100 miles of here wont't split or rebuild a crank case! Thats the exact reason I started doing them for myself and others. Its a very rewarding effort to undertake though.
Once you do one you'll never be able to stop.

Got off the phone with work and it looks like i have a few days off, guess i'll give them a try after all. Seems Husqvarna's are way easier to split thou.

22mm threads on one end and 26 on the other, works on most saws. Do a search here and it will even tell you where to buy, under $20 IF i remember right.

ordered the one from stihl, $20, will be here in a week. Now i just have to be patient.

Splitting the case is not so bad. On Stihl saws it really helps to punch the dowel pins out before you start pushing the case apart. There was a very good step by step thread started by Lakeside53 (he no longer posts here on AS) with excellent photo's of both the Stihl tools and the do-it-yourself kind. Search on "splitting" and you should be able to come up with a lot of good suggestions.

I did not buy the Bosch flywheel puller, don't remember now exactly how I did it but I managed with my simple Craftsman gear puller.

Here are a couple of photo's of my homemade splitting tool for the Stihl and the one I made for my Jonsered projects.

Pullers

My favorite is my old motorcycle engine case splitter. You have to get "long" bolts though that thread into the case somewhere. My next favorite is a plain old steering wheel puller - again the long bolts. I have also used a gigantic three jaw puller and just padded the case with nylon where the hooks contact.

The bearings don't require a whole lot of pressure to remove them, but DO NOT pry the case with a screwdriver. If you mar it, you may end up with a leak that ruins your day and the project.
