Title: 075 Cyl Removal
Post by: Old Iron Logging on July 07, 2012, 07:58:09 pm
Do I need to remove the cyl studs to remove the cyl? With the nuts off the cylinder will lift about 1 1/2 " then stop. Piston moves freely. First time in a 075.

I have the service manuals. Working for Stihl has its perks. Thanks anyway. Manual says to remove studs on a 051. Hope I have a 075.

No. you dont have to remove the studs. It just pulls right out. The 051 shouldn't have studs....

Thats the one. Good to here its a 075. Got a tip on AS as to what to look for. No gasket under the cyl, just sealant, no wonder I kept breaking cords.  ;)

Here are a few pics. Don't think it is hanging on the piston. When the cyl stops the piston will still move up and down.

It's off thanks to Hitachi. Had to cut one stud off.

Aha I see said  the blind man to his deaf wife as he picked up a hammer and saw .

The thing has studs instead of bolts .I wondered what all the fuss was about .So evidently the studs had a bunch of built up crud on them ? Stuck in the hole so to speak .
