This is exactly why I love your channel. So many tasks aren’t difficult once you know the “secrets.” If I lived near you, your shop would get my business, not that I couldn’t do some of the work, but you are set up for it and can knock it out so much faster. Unfortunately, shops like yours aren’t always available. Thanks!

[@jamesrounds4225]

I need to Thank you so much for your information. You just saved me from having to replace my chainsaw. The service company I asked to fix my broken stud was zero help. Want to take the hole thing apart. I fixed myself thanks to your channel. I’m now a subscriber 😊

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Awesommmmmmme!!!!!!! Echo got smart and offers oversized bar studs for folks that strip out the engine case.

[@Chickanic]

That's good! Haven't had to put one in yet thankfully! I bet it's not fun.

[@dryan8377]

@@Chickanic It'll take a few years for those to show up. Same thing happens in my biz. MFG's screw it up - 5 to 10 years later we're correcting their mistakes in the field

[@johnwashingtoncountyor4954]

Sweet! This old guy learned something new today. Thank you.

[@jimfisher4231]

I think it's COOL that a Lady actually is working on chainsaws, that's NOTS always clean and spotless. Awesome job, keep getting after it and work safe. Great job!

[@wendygreenfield9631]

Excellent advice. The repair worked just like she said.

[@guidogold1]

Came across this video as I have to replace 2 bar studs on my Echo 590 - great video instructions, thank you...

[@reinovator]

Thanks. I already Have the scope. Our Local Marshall Saw me Using mine, When I was checking The door on a customers truck for wiring issues. He had to have one. So I bought one for our Law enforcement. Saved them on some Issues. LOL They are a Great tool!

[@robcole8218]

Never broke one but sure glad you showed this. A whole lot easier than it looked. Thanks

[@daveg8700]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I have stripped both my bolt out of my echo 620p and was told by a mechanic it would need to be taken apart and the motor disassembled. I’ve got the new parts on the way and will be tackling this when they arrive in the mail. Thanks again, you just got a new subscriber.

[@TheWabbit]

That was informative! I have one of those endoscopes, picked it up about 6 years ago and it looks exactly like the one you have. I paid $18 and it has been well worth that many times over. Gun bores ( cracked barrel would've wasted $350 ) to going over to a friends house to figure out the stud configuration right where his shower/tub started. No way we could've figured it out without taking 18" of small tile and replacing drywall ( Saved him at least $150 if we could find the replacement tile that matched ). Plus many more uses.

[@jeffmonroe9766]

Very informative video as with all of chickanic videos detailed instructions great camera work proper Audio. For us old folks who abused their hearing when we were young. Keep up the good work an keep em coming!!!!

[@Chickanic]

Thanks again, Jeff!

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

I ordered it from Amazon . There is a link on her video . It is well worth the 30 dollars !

[@marksanders-ov8bj]

HI THANK YOU JUST FIXED BAR STUD VERY SMART LADY THANKS

[@joecardinal2930]

I love her videos. There is Echo branding everywhere and in every single video with a Stihl she shows you exactly how and why Stihl is better than Echo.

[@buddyblock3755]

i got a used Solo that had partly striped stud holes, i put bolts through oil tank with a little jb weld under the head.

[@themowerman]

As always. A simple step by step video. Great stuff

[@Chickanic]

Thanks Darlin'!

@@Chickanic no problems.. just got in from the night shift.. quick beer and bed for me

[@johnclarke6647]

I had a loose bar stud on the Stihl 025 that I restored a few months ago. It only had a few threads left in the hole, so I cleaned the hole out good with break cleaner and my air compressor. I then cleaned off the new bar stud to remove any oil. I then mixed up a little JB Weld and coated the inside of the bolt hole with it. I then screwed the new bolt stud in the hole until some of the JB Weld oozed out. I would remove it after it set. I then let the saw sit in a warm place for 24 hours. I have had no problem with it since. I do not tighten this stud as tight as I do the rear stud but Itighten it enough to hold the bar in place. Gorillas are the reason these bar studs get damaged or loose in their holes. I never tighten bar nuts like some folks do. I tighten them tight but not so tight I can’t remove them.

[@alanknoll5540]

Never replaced one before. Thanks for the tutorial.

My nephew told me unc you need a scope ,he said try this one out wow!what a cool tool it does save time ,money, and frustration! everyone should get one !

[@davidrenfro5756]

Great job I had a customer Crack the case to install bar stud. I'm sending him this video, so easy a girl can do it.. lol..thanks

[@sundial6919]

I really like the little light camara but dont need for most part the snapshot or vid feature , will be looking for self contained product i can just look into those small areas . Yall are runnin a good tight ship an enjoy your work

[@rickthelian2215]

Great to see it, the stihl chainsaw is much easier.

[@michaelfrost2402]

Wow, thank so much for sharing your time and experience. The bar bolts on my ECHO CS-620 are stripped. Went straight into tear down mode with all the star bolts removed. When that didn’t work. I Thought, for sure I had to either take into a dealer or find away to split the case. You’re AWSOME, you saved me many hard aches. Again, thank you so much.😀

Tony the tiger would say GRRRRRREAT video.

[@Leonardokite]

Indeed those little endoscopes are very handy. And you used it nicely to show how to do the job. Plus, when the hubby gets old, you can do his colonoscopy on the cheap. Hahaha

[@deanwhitaker7374]

That was very cool how easy you did that!!! I my self run stihl chain saws but that also is very nice to know I have never broke one of those studs but first time for everything. Thank you again and God Bless keep up the good work.

I have a high dollar endoscope, I’m a locksmith and comes home n very handy for safe openings. Going to get one of those long hemostats my longest is nine inch.

[@matthewwearsch242]

Pretty cool and informative video I really like your roach clip many uses for hemostats

[@Chickanic]

You know it!

[@deeprice8321]

A little white paint on the stud to index it will help you keep it lined up. Can also use a piece of fishing line or strong string, tied to stud threads when knocking through, can be used to pull new stud back through the hole.

[@philliphall4506]

I like your videos. You know your stuff!!!

[@alanlanghorn7393]

Yes good job oleo Mac are with the square heads from inside the oil tank to was looking at mine to replace the studs and they were in the tank

[@paulraymond7901]

Great information! I have never had to replace one yet, but great to know. But what seals the one that goes through the oil tank?

[@Chickanic]

Just the bolt itself, so it’s not something you want to be a problem often. It will wear out the hole.

[@paulraymond7901]

@@Chickanic I was just curious, I have a Stihl myself.

[@jesseahner8473]

Very nice informative video, would be neat to see the hemostats/roach clip in the oil reservoir at work. Stay safe. From the Pocono’s

[@michaelspencer301]

I like to put a little form a gasket just under the head to form a leak proof seal once installed. Once again ,, great video .

[@JKSawShop]

Had an individual tell me I needed to check out your bar stud installation vid. They left a comment on mine vid installing studs on a 390xp.

[@oceanheadted]

Another super useful vid, thanks

[@lawrencepevitts2434]

Excellent video

[@DavidJohnson-hw4qy]

Curious about the Husqavrna 455 rancher, it looks like I need to take off the chain sprocket to take off the metal plate and also I tried to tap out the front bolt but it doesn’t seem to want to come out. Additionally I don’t see it on the inside of the oil tank. Thank you.

[@DavidJohnson-hw4qy]

I did remove the sprocket, and one screw removes the metal plate, the bolt studs look like they are molded into a metal piece? Cannot figure how to remove the bolt stud. Does not appear to be punched out through the bar oil tank. I can include pictures if needed.

[@royburree278]

love your videos

[@markchenoweth5779]

Thank you for this informative video. I have this very problem on my Echo CS-4400 chain saw. I just order the hemostat. Is the snake camera necessary for this, or just helpful? Thanks again.

[@frankholehouse1393]

Brilliant video thank you ,how can I get hold of one of those ECHO poster you have in the background. I'm in the U.K.

I'm a dealer, so I get them from my distributor. Not sure where you can buy one. Sorry. Thanks for watching!

[@ryanbruner8928]

I only have a Stihl saws,and I don't really work on other people's saws anymore,but you can never have too much knowledge because "ya never know" what may come in handy in the future?!! Thanks!!

[@starfireentertainmentbeats7802]

Hey Chickanic, you ever thought about your own t.v. show on the DIY channel? I feel very sure it'll do real well, you really are a master of your craft.

[@nakusflies593]

Great video. Thanks. I'm Assuming the bolt next to it is mounted the same way. Mine is stripped so any comment would be appreciated. Thanks

[@martinalbert5653]

What keeps the new stud from falling out. Was it tack welded inside the saw?

[@jeffjohnson1302]

You are way better than football......

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

@Chickanic >>> How often do those _bar studs_ break? I ask because I was wondering if it would be worth it to change BOTH bar studs at the same time, even if only one is damaged? Especially on a chainsaw that has seen quite a bit of use?

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

good information video chickanic 👍

[@wattiewatt]

Thanks for this - If I hadn't watched it I'd have tried to unscrew the square head bolt on my Husqvarna 61, which might have ended badly.

[@jackmcreynoldsjr1579]

What if the helicoil has come out too. Do they make a oversized helicoil or do I have to weld the holes and re tapp

[@DanielAndonov-br5zd]

I have stihl ms 261 non-mtronic. It is with captive nuts. When I try to put the cover on the saw and secure it with the nuts It is a bit hard to turn the nuts. Does it mean that the thread of the stud is worn out or the thread on the captive nut is worn out. What can I do if the thread of the captive nut is worn out. It is a bit harder to turn it by hand but is easy to turn it with a spanner. Is it worth replacing either the stud or the cover with the captive nuts if it is not very difficult to turn it?

[@PinBall3]

With All Those Numbers Rattling Off I Was Ready To Shout Bingo ! Haha Some Pretty Low Torque On Those Bars But Using A Torque Wrench ( i use one ) Might Seem A Bit Overboard But Worth It Versus Breakage And Downtime Thanks Chickanic For The Info On The Replacement Procedure If Ever It Happens Now I Know How To Repair It

[@Chickanic]

Thanks for watching Pin Ball!

[@1478ricky]

Love your video's! If a McCulloch 7-38 chain stud is coming through the casing, is there a cure for this problem or is it a new casing?

[@jimmymartin2542]

Could you do a segment on hooking up a choke cable on a 8 hr.power snapper riding mower please.

[@Gideon_Judges6]

If you don't have enough washers or don't have the right size, you can use a short socket under the nut to help pull the stud out into place.

[@hexboxx735]

Can you get the sprocket cap separately for Makita chainsaws

[@haroldrogers8711]

Love this!

[@jimmyf1312]

Awesome video. Love the chainsaw content

[@nelsonthekkath4830]

I used to use a 2 mm thick wire, place it in the hole and position it and tap with a rod through the bar oil cap.🙂🙂🙂

[@philliphall5198]

Small slide hammer will install it quickly 😊

[@JohnWerner-jy1ju]

If your NEW bar stud was a little lose like mine was, I tapped it back into the oil tank and extracted it and put a thin film of loctite on it and reinstalled it very carefully and then put a spacer in place ---tightened it up --- and let it sit while the loctite set up ! !! THEN i put everything back together !!

[@delseckora5327]

Great content as usual.

[@hphillips7425]

Good video. You are much more educational and alot less woke than football. I chose to watch your videos

[@ababner317]

I have a Husqvarna 435 and the stud disappeared after I took the nut off. I thought it fell out but could not find it. Wouldn't you know it fell inside the oil tank. What I don't understand is why they made it this way. Now I need to put it back in place. I would suggest putting some Loctite on the stud to make sure it doesn't fall out and also putting a chisel on the stud and giving it several small hits to make it more secure before putting the Loctite on the bolt.

[@Demastrify]

Hello just found your channel and ive enjoyed it. Question do all Stihl Chain saws have that type of stud. I cant remember the model but we had one that would not come out. Some how some way someone broke both studs and they were two short to grab a hold of.

[@davidmann4533]

Can you double knot it or you use a stud extractor not a pair of pliers

[@markwiley9516]

Great job bre good video to save money 💰

[@johnbailey7337]

I have an old Sachs Dolmar chainsaw that I changed the bar stud in. The threads in the case thread up but when I put pressure on the connection with the bar the stud pops out. Any suggestions on fixing this?

Hey have you heard of EFCO chainsaws and if you have what do you think of them

I have an echo and the bar came off with the two bolts attached. They came right out of the plastic housing. They screw back in but spin around so I can't tighten the bar down. What should be doen in this case? Fill the hole with Epoxy?

Well now that was a interesting video and I always wonder how to get those studs out of my sthil chainsaw and now I know, but I have never had any problem with them so far.

[@lonloren2317]

Stihl bar studs have locktite on them and it fights you to the end. I suggest that you chase the threads with a tap to clean the old locktite.
