044 Clutch side bearing
By: ENTS Date: January 26, 2020, 2:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Trying to replace clutch side seals. Buggered up 2 in the
process. Staring at it I just can't see that seal going over
what it's suppose to go over. It looks like the bearing is too
high and the seal has to go over the inner portion of the
bearing. Is this bearing too high?

Did your saw come with that sealed bearing deal that stihl tried
for a bit. Then they went back to the other style.
I dont do many stihls to be much help at all on this.
But something dont look right. Your bearing turning in case?

This was an auction find. Slept under the basement steps until
recently. First time I have opened it up so your guess is as
good as mine. I do know, now, that the oil pump spacer bushing
should be used to set this seal (in the S.M.). I'm not sure,
but that soft shoulder (lip on crank) should/not be above the
seal?? Waiting for seals to arrive and I'll take another crack
at it.
Later and hope all is well,
Fred

The stihlheads would know this one easily. Just not one I know
much about.

Sorry guys I'm of no help. I sold my last 044 2 years ago and
haven't wrenched on it for about 30.
