Thanks this helped heaps. Till I got the rope stuck. Haha My sprocket was broken. All good now. Will go get the new sprocket this week. Mine was only a couple years old. And not that much work. Must have had the chain too tight.
Thank you sir .. because I was unaware of the teeth on the oil cump drive, now mine is stripped/worn down! Im not familiar with a saw but I'm learning as I go, I was unaware because I converted my spike sprocket to a rim sprocket and was unaware of the teeth grove on the oil pump drive.. thank you, now I need a new oil pump drive 😢😂😂 Thank you!!
Great instructional video I was really impress with your delivery shame you can not tell and teach us about surgery. Will always try to see anything you have on youtube, first class!
this was really helpfull. i was doing it different and it took a whole lot longer. It lasts me about 6 months to a yeah inbetween sprockets. but im cutting everyday. its a very good saw.I run a tree service and I was shocked.
I am looking into the same thing only on a 350. Plenty of after market parts for doing this. The only thing I haven't found is verification for the sprocket or rim sprocket type engagement to the oil pump drive pinion gear
I have a 50 and it has a nut made onto the clutch. i need to replace the rim sprocket but after using the rope method i stopped out of fear i was going to bend or break something. i put a nice fitting wrong on the cluck and whacked it with a hammer a couple times and it wouldn't come loose . I understand it's a reverse thread and to remove the clutch it must spin clockwise. but it just seemed like more then what it should be as far as tightness goes. I don't want to wreck my Ole saw but i do need to get the parts replaced before i can use it. Have you heard of such a thing as a stuck clutch assembly or am i just overly cautious ? Thank's for taking the time to share your videos.
I dont go thru all that and I replace with oregon rim drive. Will accept .325 or .375 I pull rope out about halfway. Then loop it on handle. Then use big screwdriver and dead blow hammer and usually a good rap and it spins off. And clean off all the stuff he didnt. Put brake lever on or saw on shelf!!! My 2 cents
Yes its very easy I did one on jonsered 2255 same saw diff color. Clutch comes off same way med screwdriver and strike the spot on clutch with arrow LEFT hand threads. When you take it all off grease the needle bearing. And get oregon kits those chinese brands are junk. About $20 on ebay!! When you tighten clutch back up cut a piece of wood or tree limb. That will tighten clutch back up good .
You can probably get a very small piece of wire or needle nose very small and get it out. I used plastic airline on jonsered 2252 and was new, piston so sharp it cut the line. after that is when I went to not even taking top off. For all those who wanna know what happened the plastic line slid in exaust autotune ran a while then would only idle. I was flipping out looked like a ball of grease had came out. Turns out the plastic hit exaust screen and was hard blocking exaust. melted with small torch and good as can be. How many shops would have told you it was just the screen on an obviously new saw???? If its happened to anyone was probably me!!!!
Great video. Straightforward & complete. No special tools!
Thank you for the excellent video! I agree with Brandon: very helpful when you compared the old sprocket with the new one.
The main thing I like about this video is that you show old sprocket vs new sprocket. In all the videos I watched no one showed that. Thanks!
I would swap that sprocket with echo 501p
If you can swing it. I know sometimes you just gotta use what you have
Words of wisdom never let your wife know how bad or good your saw is???
I love you man.
You made my day.
Thanks for the video. Work well on my 455. Nylon rope is the best when melted at the end.
Thanks this helped heaps. Till I got the rope stuck. Haha

Thank you ! Great video
Useful video. Thanks to you sir 🙂
Sounds like Jesse Ventura narrating this video... Thanks for the tutorial!
I dunno, that'd be a misinformation conspiracy ran by Stihl lol!
It does indeed sound like Ventura though :)
😂
Great video! Thanks for posting it.
Thanks! Very helpful.
great video....good and clear...thank you...
Excellent video! One question, in your experience is it worth spending the $ on an OE part, or do the no brand replacements work fine? Thanks.
Thanks that helped me great video
Can I go from a single piece 325 pitch 7T sprocket to a 3/8” sprocket on my Husqvarna 450 X Torque
I am looking into the same thing only on a 350. Plenty of after market parts for doing this. The only thing I haven't found is verification for the sprocket or rim sprocket type engagement to the oil pump drive pinion gear
Thanks for a helpful video.
hey thanks for sharing.... is the clutch on those 455s adjustable in any way?
Thanks

On the clutch cover is a black plastic retainer held on by 4 screws part No. 503217010. What is the size of those screws?
I dont go thru all that and I replace with oregon rim drive. Will accept .325 or .375 I pull rope out about halfway. Then loop it on handle.

I noticed that chain break handle was broke
@@Marty1959 That whole saw was rough!!
👍 thanks you shure made it loos EZ
Thanks good Video
thanks :)
And what about Grease on the needle bearing? You are kidding us that you've re assembled it 'Dry' aren't you?
EXCELLENT video - Thanks for sharing!! BTW: would you know if you can replace the "SPUR" sprocket on a 455 Rancher with a "RIM" sprocket?
Yes its very easy I did one on jonsered 2255 same saw diff color. Clutch comes off same way med screwdriver and strike the spot on clutch with arrow LEFT hand threads.

Not only is it easy thats what they recommend!!!
Be carefull sometimes clutch takes off rolling!!
Ah ehem....what do you when you try to pull the rope out and it is hopelessly stuck? Can't move piston either?
Now I'm stuck with the rope in the piston.
Me too jfc!! I pulled hard and the rope BROKE IN THE PISTON. DO NOT DO THIS
@@davidsimpson2635 worked fine for me
What kind of specialty tools do you have to remove the clutch?
Flat screwdriver and hammer. Clutch is marked where to strike it.
Yes that saw was rough but it's just as easy to keep clean and maintained!!!
Fuckin John Goodman! Great video brother
Want454
Dont use a rope might as well buy tool rope now stuck in piston easy fix turned to a big problem
Ditto! Fuq!!
Did you get the rope out of the piston? How??
Back up piston by moving clutch in opposite direction you loosened it . Make sure you clean out piston chamber.
@@jan-michaelbob3666 my cheap rope actually broke off. I think it's toasted
Your good take off muffler to inspect clean and take out whatever pieces of rope that are in the piston chamber
DO NOT DO THIS. READ COMMENTS TO SEE WHY
You can probably get a very small piece of wire or needle nose very small and get it out. I used plastic airline on jonsered 2252 and was new, piston so sharp it cut the line. after that is when I went to not even taking top off.

If its happened to anyone was probably me!!!!
Also if you take muffler off you can prob grab it easy. Dont know why I didnt think of that before.
