Would putting a little loctite on the bar stud before putting it back in help? Or would it just lead to a bigger issue?

@blackenedmagic888

​@@cajunred6804 It probably wouldn't hurt anything but I'm not sure it would do anything either. Loctite generally works best where both threaded areas are metal and it probably wouldn't do much in terms of screwing a metal stud into plastic threads.

I love that your videos are no nonsense and straight to the point. I don't even own a chainsaw (or snowblower, etc), and I still watch every video you put out. I've learned a ton - thank you.

Me too. Thanks from UK.

Thanks for all the great tips and advice! I can tell you have seen it all! And fixed it all! What a blessing it is to have access to some of the world’s best mechanics sharing what they know!

What a treat to watch Dony on a Friday morning repair video. Your talent to small and large repairs shows, sir. 👍👍👍👍

Stihl makes an oversized bar stud for use when case threads are stripped. The case part is larger, but the bar part is the same as before, so the stock nut goes back on. I have used these successfully when the case threads are too far gone to use.

Awesome videos donyboy73, I always love watching your content. I am a small engine mechanic in Australia and I work at a Honda, Husqvarna, Briggs And Stratton, Toro, Kohler, victa, and Walker Mower dealership I just love how you diagnose and repair it is exactly how I work on small engines. Keep up the amazing work dony.

Bro I literally just had this exact issue yesterday and as soon as I type it in this morning to fix it your video popped up. What a coincidence!!!

Aaah! It goes to show we can repair it ourselves and save money. Nice job Don. I agree that getting the die started to repair the threads of the stud is the tricky part. You make it look so easy. 😊

Good stuff. I always attempt to fix/repair first before replacing with new. I guess I got that from my Dad.

I'm not a huge fan of Loctite...but I'd have used some on this repair. Don, you SHOULD check out the LANG Tools 42pc Metric/SAE thread repair set. Its great for restoring messed up threads, better than using a die. Don't buy a generic set, get the USA made original from Lang. I bet U would use it almost daily. Great video.

I replied with a similar comment about the thread repair kit. It realigns the threads rather than cutting them. It doesn’t work in every instance, but when it does, it works well.

Nice work I would’ve put a little blue lactat on the stud just to be safe, but great video as usual

...great job Don....love watching you repair old parts instead of rushing off to buy new ones... I do the same whenever I can... 🙂

Excellent repair. Thanks for the lesson.

A nice "simple" repair which actually demonstrates several very important mechanical skills, not the least of which is patience.

Great repair, Dony

Good repair. Ive fixed quite a few threads on nuts and bolts doing moped repair.

Nice. Same thing happened to me last summer with a new saw, no cross thread though. Lock tight to the rescue. But i checked and still will warranty it if something else was wrong. 😊. Thanks for sharing this with us.

TY for Sharing

Thanks Dony

Great fix !! However if it were me ! I would just stick a new stud in it. Time is money and you time is worth more than a stud . Great video. 😊

Awesome video, Don - I like your instruction videos whether it's removing a broken bolt or like this video. But can I ask you why you didn't use Locktite on the stud inside the housing (I hope you understand what I mean) - so it would sit much tighter and not come out with the nut. Take care, greetings from Norway

The threads were perfectly good in the case and were not the problem. Loctite doesn't work that well in plastic.

I have never seen those stripped before and I don't know how they would have done that

I bought a Lang thread repair kit for damaged threads. If the threads aren’t damaged much this realigns the threads rather than doing any cutting. It doesn’t always work though and I sometimes have to grab the regular tap/die set.

Nice repair

Great video I noticed that the spur sprocket look like it needed replacing

😅 Always great info buddy! Everyone of us wants the new tool for rounding off the thread, let us know when possible please.

when i need to accurately start a tap , i sometimes chuck a tap in drill press and turn chuck by hand till it starts (NEVER start the drill press) . you can also chuck a stud , and lay die on d p table , to accurately start the die . a little awkward , but it sometimes comes in handy .

Stihl does make over size stud

Thanks. Question: why not use blue thread locker to make sure it will not come out again?

@donyboy73

3 ай бұрын

Doesn't work well. The reason the stud came out is because the threads were damaged, now that the threads are repaired it won't come out.

Use two nuts to get the stud back in and tight. You can back off the inner nut

Another very helpfull video Don ,I was wondering if locktite would help in this case ?

@donyboy73

Not really, the case is plastic.

I did this repair last year and used Gorilla Glue to hold the stud in place.

Thoughts on Loctite or ? on the studs (case side)

When first removed from the case it looked like there was a lot of oil on the part of the stud that came out of the case. Wondering if it might have been worth hitting the hole and stud with carb/brake cleaner before replacing the stud?

Cost of new stud compared to the cost of thread die, die handle and reamer, might be a reasonable option to repair the saw.

If it was my saw I would replace both studs and nuts as you are always adjusting the chain and would hate to damage the engine.

Excellent. Would it be inappropriate to use Loctite on the threads of the stud?

I am not sure it really makes a lot of difference, but we use "te-threading" dies/taps or what some call chasing dies/taps to correct damaged threads and thread cutting dies/taps if making new threads in unthreaded material. I "think" maybe tess metal is lost is chasing the threads with the re-threading type. Have you noticed that or not?

oO I just discovered hex die set 😮 It would be nice to have hex driven tap has well.

@TheCaptainSlappy

3 ай бұрын

I need a good set of those myself. I been meaning to! Along with the nut/bolt checker (keep getting odd metrics anymore on work).

When using dies, regardless of whether they are cutting or chasing, have the side that has the size printed on it towards the stud. If you look close there is a distinct difference in the lead(taper) on the first couple threads to help get started.

I wish I knew the the thread count back in the day after I lost the bar but on a sthii chain saw back in the day we went to home Depot trying to find a nut that would fit on the stud but it was not happing trying to find the proper one

Was originally wondering why you didnt use threadlock but then you said they screw into plastic and I know what that does to plastic.

Not to be "that guy" but dies are for cutting threads--they remove metal. A thread chaser is for repairing threads--straightening them while removing little or no metal. Removing metal results in weaker/sloppy threads. Lang/Kastar makes a great "thread restorer" set. It gets rebranded by all the tool trucks and was even sold by Sears/Craftsman at one time.

Is there a order number for the tool you used to round it off?

JB Weld

Good video. Why are there plastic threads on something that keeps a chain saw from flying off at high speed? Designed to fail? And on a Stihl no less.

Est-ce que se serait une bonne idée de mettre un peu de Loctite vert (small fastener) sur la partie qui entre dans la scie? Merci

Never knew there was a tool to round the end of bolt . Nice save. Tell my guys not to over tighten these. Everyone thinks you have to crank them on super tight .Thats why they have 2 . I put some red loc tite on the ones I’ve done ( case side ) . Not sure if it made a difference but problem never returned .
