  • hopefully this helps for the guys that asked... if you guys are interested in how to split cases with the stihl tool let me know... just figured this is probably more helpful 🤷‍♂️

      Nice man thanks for looking into that... I thought I was crazy tbh but I was finding the same... I definitely dont skimp on my tools and I just didn't realize it was that much 😬 it has pulled ridiculous amounts of bearings off tho and still works perfectly 👌

    I just popped out a bearing from my Makita dcs 6401 by following this advice, wooden bench it wasn’t going out, put some ar500 under it and made sure it was flat and POP, bearing came right out. Thank you so much I was really starting to lose hope before pulling up this video.

    Another great instructional John! Even though I have 25+ rebuilding saws, I always like to watch the techniques of other techs . My mentor showed me his ways when I was just starting and after trying multiple other ways, I always go back to the tried and true. I like to freeze my bearings while heating the case half’s to 220 degrees, the bearings drop right in and fully seat I then pull the crank through the bearings. There’s many ways to do it properly, this way is what works well for me. Keep up the great content and Merry Christmas John!

      You got it man... I wouldn't recommend this method if you have the proper pullers and tools thats for sure.. .lot of people apparently fight these bearings and cases and are scared to do it... service center charges more than what the saw is worth to fix it so they are stuck with no good solution...

    Great tips John.I've done a mix of what you showed and the old freezer and oven technique.Freeze the crank in the freezer heat the bearings in the oven and they fall on.Then I freeze the crank with the bearings on and heat the case halves in the oven.Then the crank and bearings will fall into the first case half and the second case half will go on mostly and finish it by pulling with the bolts.Merry Christmas John,Thank's for sharing all your tricks and mods with us.

    Love your camera , it’s really good quality dude, really important for filming, especially quality content such as the videos you make. Really curious to know what you think about husky’s "auto tune" ? Is it any good or somewhat comparable to the 500i? Wondering because I was gifted a brand new 545 mark ii, I love it and I know a good carb makes a massive difference.. I put a SmartCarb on my 2020yz125x and it’s really good but ofc it’s not KTMTPI good..

      The mark II auto tune huskys are awesome... the first version of the auto tune series had tons of problems but they have them sorted now... the 500i is a much bigger saw so its hard to compare it to anything under a 90 cc honestly... the reason I don't do huskys is I am so booked solid I can be very selective on the saws I do so I stay in my lane and just do certain models so I can be efficient and perfect a few builds vs doing a wide variety of saws... if that makes sense... but I am a certified husky tech as well my man

  • @IronOakSawmill
    @IronOakSawmill 2 года назад

    Would you ever try heating g the case half in an oven. The case would expand faster than the bearing, and the bearing falls out we used to to that with dirt bike and quad engines.
    Separating case halves was always interesting with a transmission inside, but that saw was giving you a hard time.

    I’d disagree that having a tool equals knowledge on using said tool. There are some that have the means to buy but not yet used. Ever heard of: see one, do one, teach one? I’m assuming you had a first time using those specialty tools; did you know exactly how they worked on every situation pushing or pulling. I think not. Some people are visual learners. Have you ever read some shitty instructions and thought I wonder if there is a RUclips video. Your analogy is flawed sir. You could show both methods. Just my 2c. Great content just the same.

    • @johnscustomsaws
      @johnscustomsaws  2 года назад +1

      The specialty tool is so easy to use a monkey could do it... certainly someone that buys a case splitting tool should understand how to use it or probably should hire someone to do it... there is only one way it works... so YES I absolutely understood how to use it within 30 seconds... mechanical people understand how that stuff works and don't need a tutorial... if I made the video u are describing people would think I am losing my mind... so I showed a way to do it without the tool...
