Crank bearings

Tree Sling'r · Mar 25, 2007

What Husky model(s) will share the same crank bearings are a 046/460, both clucth and flywheel side..
Anyone have an idea?

It sounds like the flywheel side is pretty much universal -Kinda what I thought about the clutch side. Figures.
Thanks Andy.

I just bought 4 new crank bearings for a husqvarna 266. they fit 268,272 and the jonsered 625,630,670. It also said that they would work on one side of the 460 stihl but I dont remember. I think it was the flywheel side but not positive. hope this is of some help. Rick!!!!!!!

Stihl's flywheel side bearings are not standard off-the-shelf parts. They have a custom radius on the inner bore edges to relieve stresses on the crank and to ensure reliable mating to the crank. Sure, you can often get away with a standard part if you're careful, but not always.
