removing muffler bolts on Husqvarna 61

[Rosss]

The two bolts that hold the muffler to the cylinder on a 61, what tool do I need to remove them?

I tried the same hex key that took off the bolts holding the muffler support bolts but it didn;t seem to catch on anything.

I looked on line and there was a video with a guy taking bolts out with a 5/16 socket but I tried and it won't fit in the holes on mine.

I figure some here knows....
Thanks

If they’re recessed they’re probably 5mm hex key (Allen). The one you’ve been using for most of the other screws is a 4mm.

That seems reasonable.
Will try that out.

My 61 has studs and the muffler is held on with nuts taking an 8mm socket.

Some of the older husky saws had muffler studs that protrude from the muffler and took a 8mm socket. That might be what you saw on the video

Yeah, mine are the recessed ones way at the bottom of the hole.
