How to remove bearings from a chainsaw case in real time.

Showing how to remove bearings from a chainsaw case. I use a temp gun to show how much heat is needed for the bearings to drop out.
thanks for watching!!

After running a ported 395 at hopperstock I am hooked. That saw wanted to be fed wood. It was a beast. Thanks tinman. Great vid ❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️🌲

I love your saw builds but I love this stuff even better! Fixing to build a 064 clone saw. Swapping with oem carb and boot. Maybe ignition 😁

[@headless0ptomist198]

You don't need a case splitter, a heat gun and a few whacks with a hammer has been my method for nearly 20 years. 300°F + a 2lb persuader + 5 or 6 taps on the crank = split case every time. Same goes for removing and installing bearings, 280 to 300° is the sweet spot regardless of rust and they pop right out, keep the new ones in the freezer for 12 hours, 280° and drop them in and hit them with a few drops of mixing oil and your pretty much done.

Great vid Tinman. Wishing you, the miss-o and the little one continued good health.

My old friend, the saw man always used a pressure washer to clean parts . He memorized every part number for all Husqvarna, if the bottom end was shot he wouldn’t fix it , he had 45 gallon drums full of dead saws . Sadly he has passed, many hours spent in the saw shop with him . 👍🇨🇦

About the bearings and heat I strated wondering if the steel bearing expands more than the magnesium, it could be more destructive, but I did a quick research and fair enough magnesium expands significantly more than hardened steel per degree of heat so the more you heat it, the looser the fit between the bearing and the case will be. Way to go tinman, you know what you are doing keep up the good work!

[@felixbinette9752]

Yep 👍 Tinmans morning tutorial. Makes a lazy man drink more coffee. Good morning food for thought. Thanks got a 372 needs some love. Hope Mama's 😊 feeling good.

[@daveodenbach6455]

Good video. I've done quite a few like this until I saw Walt warm cases in a turkey cooker. I now use a toaster overseas at 280 to 300 degrees. It heats the case evenly and many time I just tap it on the bench and they fall out. Just remove the rubber parts first.

[@daveodenbach6455]

Sorry. OVeN

[@CharlesBrisco]

A silly build 394 is gona be sweet looking forward to seeing it rip

[@Finom1]

Bless you and your growing family Tinman, great educational video:)

[@jasonbubley9427]

I have a 288 now. Fresh ported build commin soon.

Finally understand fidget spinners after the explanation about good versus bad bearings

[@bradleyswasey6778]

That was a good video. A couple years ago my son and I picked up a 025 at the dump someone brought there. Apparently they couldn't get it started. I had a little bit of time the other week and had it running good. I hope to find one with bigger problems to work on.

[@dragonspicks]

I’ll be watching this build on intently for sure. I’ve rebuilt top ends before but never dealt with the crank case

[@mikepaterno4955]

Tin Man, thank you buddy! This worked like a charm!!! Now I have to put it back together!!

[@parkerearp4316]

The bench looks great and I'm pretty fond of the backdrop. A full shelf of big husky's makes me happy. Lol

[@stevehdd9929]

Thank you for your hard work Tinman you're the best!

[@rbruce5270]

i use a socket slightly bigger than crank shaft and sit it flat on bearing and hammer it out

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching! 👍💪👏

[@aaronpowell4885]

I honestly thought it'd take over 400! Never thought to take a thermometer to the cases. I'll gladly trade you some temperatures. It's been 98+ farenheit here for over 2 weeks, and already seen 114. Suppose to be upper 70s Saturday😃 Hobbs NM. The white tin should help when showing the details👍

[@mrj7872]

Looks great thanks for all your hard work

[@Chainmale]

Thanks Tinman. Another helpful video 🪓

[@justinweaver8787]

Great tips buddy love this build goin to be awesome.

[@justinweaver8787]

Great tips sir thank u

[@robertsmith7580]

Shop is looking good

[@mikahakkinen5651]

a do removing bearings same way.its working good

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Very helpful, Tinman!

[@joescott803]

What about the 590 tinman

[@user-jm6ck3df5r]

How do you heat bearings that have the plastic ball holding ring?

[@joenegrin3667]

I noticed the "open face" of the brearing (the side you can see the balls clearly) faces out in the case. Are 372 the same?

[@eltonpham2165]

Is this the same procedure for trimmer/weedeater engines with the bolt on jug split crankcase design? Think echo, shindaiwa, Redmax , Stihl, husqvarna, etc.? I need to replace the bearings and seals in the bottom end. When reinstalling the bearing is there a certain depth the bearing should sit down in the bearing case housing also is this the same for the seals?

[@tdawg8605]

Nice content👌, as always thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your channel. TC Tinman Mahalo🤙🤙🤙

[@lisashier5568]

Cannot wait to see the progress on the painting. I am sure it's as good as the porting of saws...

[@Banjoandguns]

Wouldn’t you put the new one in when it’s hot after you took the old one out

[@topchoppers7980]

Yea generally I think you would if it's clean enough those looked fairly good enough to do so but always better safe than oops 😬 lol do t that a few times lol

[@jasonmercer9962]

Good instructional video snazzy temp gun😂

[@rhysfirth3506]

This will be useful for my Sach Dolmar 120si buy. One of the disassembled saws is noted as having rooted bearings. Did you get the S-D 153 to run? The last video I found on it after going through your post videos for S-D saws after searching for 120's and realising that not just the porting series I've been watching, but you also have a few S-D videos, you commented you think it's an air leak. If it's bad crank seals on the 153, you need 17-28-7 and 17-30-7 double lip rotary oil seals. I'm not sure if you have the Dolmar IPLs there. The bearings on the 153 are interesting, larger and wider on the PTO side rather than a matching pair.

[@nathanbroomfield4953]

Hey Tinman, do you have any experience with hyway crank bearings? I cannot find any oem for my stihl 360

[@Oli4vn]

Hey Tinman, what’s your pick between 394 and 395? Do you think the 395 being more expensive is justified?

[@Banjoandguns]

Call stahls I think they told me 1100 ish shipped 395xp

[@230e4]

@@Banjoandguns Stahls is great to do business with. That is were I get most of my Husky saws. If you like Oregon chain their price is hard to beat. Plus they do work on sawmill blades.

[@230e4]

If you can find a great price on a low hour 394 buy it! I see 394s in good running condition selling for what I bought brand new 395s for. The 395xp is well worth the money and can be bought new. Alot can be gained porting a 395xp. I consider both great saws for felling with a 32" light bar.

[@robertdixon4554]

Careful with a torch and MAGNESIUM CASES , MAGNESIUM burns extremely hot , bare magnesium lights way to easy with an open flame … just say’n , ive seen 2 machinists make that mistake and they have new garages now .

[@ryanfriars545]

Shavings will light up easily. I’ve melted magnesium cases and they did not light up. Has to hit a very high temperature (almost white hot) to ignite it. Machinists deal with shavings also, which are very easily lit up.

[@BrigT262]

Good morning Tinman . New subr here. Do you happen to know of a crank puller tool that supports the inner race, not the outer like the oem one does?

[@tinmanssaws]

The one I use is the only type of tool I've seen. What are you fixing?

[@BrigT262]

@tinmanssaws 281 Husky. Looking to replace the bearings on it. I think I can ad a sleeve or several washers on the oem puller to make it work. I'm gonna try that

[@tinmanssaws]

@@BrigT262 my puller works fine on those saws, I've done several 288 bottomed ends on the channel
