Husqvarna bar nut torque

[GCC]

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the bar nut on a Husqvqrna 445?

'bout as tight as your scrench will get but not tight enough that you might crack your clutch cover.

Tight enough to not come loose.

OP, don't overthink it. I wouldn't bother putting a torque wrench on a clutch cover. Just tighten it "good and snug", and leave it.

 

[Wood Doctor]

Over tightening is something you do not want to do. Strong sawyers are experts at doing this and then wishing that they did not strip the collar screws.

On a Husky it will still come loose.

The little scrench, too. Like the 6” ones. Not those longer ones.

You really don’t need to bring a torque wrench into the woods to swap a chain.

I never had one come loose, and I never stripped pulled a stud out, and I never used a torque wrench in 50 years.

I have dropped bar nuts in the leaves/sawdust, carry a spare
