Re: Husqvarna 445e....Piston ring Repair advice.

Hi guys, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to reply to my post.  Your all brilliant!!!

As for the ring, it is proving to be very obstinate, which I think is probably all part of the course.  I have been continuously soaking it in WD40 (some in a can cap and leaving the piston in to soak day & night).  Every few hours when I can, I tap the ring/piston with the handle of a screwdriver.  I dont think it has moved much.....the ring is still mainly flat to the surface of the piston.  I have also been spraying it with Shock & Unlock from Halfords.

To be perfectly honest I am not sure if I would have the confidence of using this same ring again.  It probably has not done it any good being stuck in this position for well  over 6 months.  Perhaps I should invest in a new piston ring anyway?  I will continue soaking & tapping it for a while longer in case it pops out, failing that I guess I will have to somehow lever it out.

One other thought, would heating it in anyway help free it?

Sorry guys, one more question...where would you recommend buying a piston ring, would you go direct to Husqvarna or maybe something like the link below?

Again thank you very much for all your fantastic help :) :) :) :) :)
