Stihl crankcase question!!

[Paul Silvestri]

Good morning, so I'm needing to replace the flywheel side case half on my 441 and am wondering if it's reasonable to think I can split the case without disabling the PTO side and bearing and just redo the flywheel side? Is this attempt worth it or at that point is it just best to start from zero and do both side seals and bearings?

Thanks!!

"Yes" starting from zero?

I would start from zero. It is possible using this tool to just do the side your asking about.

If you are in that deep then you may as well do both side seals/bearings imo...

You have to take apart the clutch side to access the bolts.
