Nose Sprocket Repair - With Illustrations - 1
« on: May 01, 2014, 12:25:02 am »
At a recent GTG we did a chaps test/demonstration that also seized up a couple of nose sprockets. This is how I 'saved' them. These were both Oregon-style bars, without the additional side shims that the STIHL bars have*.

1. I drove the rivets out on both bars using my chain breaker - reverse from the direction that they were installed.  A punch could also be used, or the rivets could be drilled out if you have replacement rivets.
