Tightening flywheel nut on Stihl ms170

[Tomyp89]

Next time Mark the nut and the flywheel.
Tighten it to the same mark or a hair further.
Will be close enough.

I would have no problem tightening it by feel, if i locked the piston.

Without piston locked have very little feel.

No convinient place to slot scredriver to lock flywheel unfortunately.

A length of soft rope inserted into the spark plug hole works great as a piston stop. Just be sure the piston is just above the ex port so you don't jam the rope in a port.
