Split the case and knock it out!!! oh my that is blasphemy!! lol! Ive gotten them out with a smaller screw on an 026 and its much smaller than that. It is a pain to get out but it will come just dont scratch anything upThe seal is very thin and sits down in about 1/8".
Wish I had one of those right now!
Try a screwdriver with a square notch cut about 1/8" from the tip and insert sideways through seal and turn sideways once through then pull. May have to go from one side to the other and ease it out alil at a time
Thats what I was trying before work but didnt seem to budge it. I used a Stihl carb screwdriver maybe I should try one with a bigger handle for a better grip!
Ill look into that and see if I can drill holes. Not much metal on that small seal!
I know whats worse than not getting it out is being at work and wanting to be in the shop trying!! Ive been there
did u use a sealant around the outside? permatex motoseal. At this point u can pull and install new with sealant or pull a small vaccum and apply alil loctite 290 around the outside of seal and let set up overnight and ck again. I think still spec allow alil leakage and most say if its small it will seal itself up after alil run time. I think the manual says 13" vaccum hold for 20 sec?
dang saws can drive u nuts when they act up!! I plan on buying a stihl puller but most guys use the screwdriver method! My local stihl shop mechanic is the owner and mechanic and he doesnt even own the stihl puller. If u have a local stihl shop that has a puller they can get it right out for u
