357XP Clutch spring replacement

Any good tricks for replacing a broken clutch spring in my
357XP? I've not had to mess with one of these before. I imagine
there must be some tricks to make getting it in easier.
Also, if one spring broke, is it better to just replace all
three while I'm in there?

Best to replace all 3 as set. I have done only 1 on my own saws
before and didnt notice anything different. But you could if
other two wore out bad or been over heated.

Thanks Cut4fun. That's very helpful. I did not have a shop
manual.
I was wondering if my snap ring pliers would be helpful in
getting the springs back on. Looks as though that is the
recommended practice.
I don't suppose you have a shop manual for a Jonsered 2152, do
you? That thing has leaked oil since it was new. I keep thinking
I'm going to tear into it and find out the problem, but just
haven't gotten around to it.

Look in the husky 346 oil leak section here. There was a update
and fixes for those types in a thread. I had one like that I
was doing for a local and fixed.

I got the clutch springs replaced. What a pain in the neck those
little buggers are!
As I pulled that off, I realized the sprocket was getting to the
point where it should be replaced. No problem, I keep a spare. I
pulled out the spare sprocket I had in my box of parts. No dice:
the ID was larger than the splined shaft on my clutch drum. So I
checked the parts manual Cut4Fun sent me. It called for a
Husqvarna part 501 59 80-02. None of the stores nearby me had
one, so I ordered a couple online. This is supposedly the
equivalent of the Oregon 68210, a 3/8, 7 tooth standard spline,
and the Oregon site confirms that the 68210 should fit the
357XP.
It appears I actually need a 3/8", 7 tooth, SMALL spline, since
the ID of the sprocket is about 3/4". (I did get it used, and
have been using it for years now. I guess the previous times I
replaced the sprocket, I must have just brought them to the saw
shop and said "give me one of these".)
So did some Husqvarna 357Xp saws get made with a different
set-up, or do I have a saw that has been bastardized over the
years.

John, the 357 could be ordered with a .325 set up at one point,
and that explains the small spline drum. For the first few years
it's Jonsered cousin the 2156 was offered it was ONLY available
in .325. The different drum also requires a different oil gear
should you ever need to replace it. The 3/8 was far more popular
on these saws and they eventually stopped offering them that
way. But set up with an 8 pin .325 they were pretty quick. There
is an updated oil pick up line for those saws. Just put one in a
357 myself yesterday.
Sometimes using OEM part numbers on common parts like rim
sprockets or bars causes confusion in shops, because nobody has
the stuff inventoried that way. You looked up a legitimate part
number, but the shop might be speaking a different lingo and say
they don't have them even if they have plenty. Funny, but
sometimes a guy will call my store and ask if I have a part
number and they think I'm nuts when I say I don't need a number
just tell me what you need. After this many years, it's all in
my head. LOL

Thanks, Spike60. There are no REAL Husqvarna dealers near me
anymore, just the hardware stores who carry the lower end & mid
level stuff. The only parts the carry are chains, a couple of
bars, and spark plugs. The old timers who really knew their
stuff have either passed away or closed up shop. The last
servicing dealer nearby was a John Deere dealer, and apparently
the corporate gurus forced him to switch to Stihl. This was too
bad for him, because there is already a gold-level Stihl dealer
at the Kubota/New Holland dealer about a mile away who is VERY
good. Bad for me because I now have a 70 minute round trip to
get service or parts (if I need the parts faster than mail
order).
When shopping locally, I had both Husqvarna and Oregon part
numbers, AND I brought the part I had removed from the saw with
me. The Stihl dealers didn't have the size. The local Taylor
Rental used to be a Jonsered dealer, but has switched over to
Echo. They still service Jonsered and other saws. They had the
right size, but it was some aftermarket junk. I bought two to
have a spare. When I got them home, the both had so many burs
and zits on the from the manufacturing process that one would
not slide on the shaft at all, and the other would go on if I
forced it, but was such a snug fit that it would not float on
the shaft. That's when I went to mail order, but made the
mistake of going by the part number, rather than measuring.
I'm guessing that new oil pick up line is the same, regardless
of the drum and oil gear used, is that correct? My 357XP is
currently oiling OK, but it has started to weep a bit of oil
when stored (not as bad as my Jonsered 2152). What do I ask for
if I want to get the new line? I'll likely have to get it
online, so probably need a part number to search it out.

I showed what you ran into on 346 thread. I used to switch them
back forth myself to be able to run what I wanted.
Thread on it.
