    Default broken chainsaw need help

    i thought i'd put this here as most of you blokes are on top of this kind of stuff. a mate dropped this saw in the other day, he's busted the studs off the saw that holds the bar on. i've had a go trying to get them out with the multi grips but they don't budge and i don't want to put too much pressure on them in case i snap them any further. the make is a Talon brand. my questions are if anyone has played with theese thing before ;do i put more pressure on the stud or do i have to pull the thing apart ? or is it just better to throw the thing in the bin?

    If they're studs they will come out with proper persuasion. Can you use an extractor set, where you drill a hole straight into the centre of the broken bolt, and insert the extractor? Only use good quality or these will snap off too

    What Bob said, a bit of heat, doesn't need to be red hot.

    A hot air gun or hair dryer directed straight on to casing where the studs are.
    Cheers

    What DG Said. Heat an go for it. If you break a stud off you should be able to use stud removers. If you end up mangling the case just bin it.

    Charlsie I thought the bar retaining studs were square headed bolts with a knurled shank that were pressed in from the starter side , I was under the impression that these saws were designed on the last of the McCulloch range you may just have to strip the saw down by removing the cowl that holds the oil-fuel tank on , and tapping the bolts through .
    Does the saw look like this on if so then the studs come out the way I said Peter

    This is a quote from McBob's McCulloch chainsaw site

    Near bankruptcy, its 1999 acquisition by the Taiwanese company Jenn Feng Industrial Co., Ltd .
    The McCulloch name was partially purchased by Husqvarna AB for use in Europe only,
    where Jenn-Feng equipment is labeled as the     Talon brand rather than McCulloch.
