HOW TO REPLACE PTO BEARINGS ON JUST ABOUT ANY 2 STROKE TRIMMER / NO SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED!

#pto#bearing#echo#stihl#smallengine #lawnmowerrepair
Replacing PTO bearings is a simple task with just a few shop tools that you have laying around my method works flawlessly but I’m sure there are thousands of other ways to do it and this is just one of them

Was looking all over the internet looking for how these is supposed to come out on a weedeater I’m reworking. Thanks for doing this, only one I’ve found.

[@hphillips7425]

Nice job. It is easy to tell when someone has mechanical sense

[@merrillclark5279]

Excellent video and clear video. Helps a great deal, particularly the "rigged" set up to remove and press in the bearings and bell housing.

[@eh9325]

thanks exactly what i was looking for...

[@TheTrailblazer1974]

Genius using the c clamp that way! Guess I won’t be needing my 20ton press any more

[@robertsrbell7811]

Sure love watching your videos learn new stuff all the time you know your stuff thanks teach.

[@nashguy207]

Great tip Jeremy!!

[@motoman5023]

Great ideas always more than one way to do things.

[@tc3603]

Nice press Man.clever boy

[@bumpkinrocks]

Some of the Stihls are a pig as the circlip is deep with narrow access. I ground down some long reach pliers to points which worked.

[@butler386]

Fantastic information and great ideas. Thanks for the video

[@michaelhoersch6626]

When pressing bearings in, you should press the outer bearing race, not the inner bearing shown in this video. Pressing in on the inner race can damage the bearing.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

These bearings are not an interference fit . Were using the tiniest amount of pressure here, no damage to anything I assure you. thank you for your concern. The way it is designed to be able to press the clutch drum in you have to press on the center race no other way around it

[@mdchester]

Awesome tip! I have a Stihl FS131R with a stripped gear head. It requires a really long pair of snap ring pliers. Do you have any advice on how to disassemble the newer style gear head on the Stihl trimmer? Would love to see a video on rebuilding one. Thank you for the awesome videos. Please keep them coming.

[@walterbeaver6365]

Great video. Easy to understand. Thankyou Sir.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Glad it helped

[@robcole332]

Nice job

[@gatorgotme]

Great demo Jeremy!

[@antonioguerrero2720]

Thank you very much.. my friend..great video..

[@justonnie]

I've also heard you can press out that bearing with kerosene!

[@travismauldin7194]

LOL!

[@jessejuarez7834]

Good Job.. O.P.E Tech

[@jasoncampbell2859]

What size weedeater was this? I have a echo 266. The housing is getting extremely hot. Do you have a part number on those bearings if it’s a 266

[@chriscrusader5412]

Thank You!!

[@waylonlegend4603]

My drum looks new, but it sounds like the bearing grinds loudly when it’s running.

[@siclmn]

My 242 has a snap ring but there is nothing on each end for a tool to grab onto. Even if there was the hole it is tiny and all of the pliers that I have found are too big to work.

[@roblord7610]

There are no circlips on my Echo GT22GES housing that I can see. Should I go ahead and try to press out the clutch drum ?

[@xkeister07x]

Is there a video showing how to dissamble to get to where this video starts?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

It depends on the make and model

[@xkeister07x]

@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Im working on an Echo PAS-2620. Thanks for the quick response!

[@NewHopeCutzandLawnCare]

Can the clutch get stuck

[@marioscattone2530]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@robertyearian227]

I didn't know there was a bearing in there

[@nim179]

Will bad bearings cause the clutch cover to get really hot?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Absolutely

[@nim179]

Ok cool I’ll start with replacing the bearing. It gets so hot that it had almost burned my arm when taking the clutch cover off is there anything I would need to be aware of? I have an echo SRM-230 weed eater.

poor man's arbor press
