How to replace chainsaw drive sprocket/rim sprocket Husqvarna 359 

Good vid Ive purchased a 545 for 50 bucks at auction that has drive issues The vid of the drive helped me figure out why mine was jacked 50 bucks plus the drive gear and bearing and your vid....Scoreeeee!!!

I just bought a 395xp. Thanks for the vid

Nice job young man. My oldEcho was giving me fits until I watched…realized the clutch assembly has left hand thread!

Without removing the spark plug, there is enough compression in the cylinder to counter the torque of an impact wrench as I've been using that method on a 4018 poulan. You just need to purchase the clutch tool for the model, reducing the chance of rope getting stuck in the exhaust port of the cylinder, or other issues from using hammer & screw driver, where the clutch is very tight.

Thanks for the video bless

Thanks for the video! It was so helpful!

You took it off with the letters facing outwards. Then you flipped it around and put the letters inward toward the engine with the new one. Which is it?

Any insight for the needle bearing if worn out or should I replace also with the rim? Thanks for your video

Can you help. Hustvarna Rancher 50 from 1985. The shaft on which the clutch screws has a hexagon nut on outer end and projects only 1/8th inch and there is copper colour around it where it meets the shaft. This saw has never been to a service dealer etc and I own from new.. How to get the clutch unscrewed is the problem the 'nut' is solid fixed. Do I hold the clutch with rope in cylinder etc and hammer it off as shown in other videos or have you seen anything like it??? any ideas?

Just experienced a sudden onset of my chain self tightening. Cut a few logs, went to refuel and adjust the chain. Got back to the log and just 2 seconds after firing the saw it bogged and stalled. The chain was so tight, I couldnt move it freely nor was there any slack whatsoever. I readjusted and same thing. This happened 4 times in a row. Wonder if it's the sprocket? The fourth time, the chain was adjusted properly then as I was taking it off the bench I bumped the handle and could literally watch the chain fall to slack. I bet the chain is riding up on the high spots of a worn sprocket. Any suggestions? Hopefully I have it figured out.

Awesome video thank you!

Can you change the drive sprocket to a different size so go from .325 to 3/8 .I know would need new chain and bar aswell doing that ?

Its easier to use a adjustable spanner wrench for an angle grinder instead of banging screwdriver with hammer. (Something i just learned 15mins ago). Also i had to remove spark plug to bind the piston with a rag and a screwdriver jammed inside.

"Husqvarna" mean s "house by the river" in Swedish. Watch wear in bar between rails . Nice work Thanks

My sprocket saver has holes on the opposite side. Should I put the holes towards the inside or the outside?

Question: I was running a Stihl ms261 and I realized the rim sprocket was broken. A section was missing but there was no deformation, how could this have happened? How can it be prevented?

If you put grease in the end of the crank, will it come out in the needle bearing? Heard that it would. Thanks!

Ever changed a husqv 350 that comes factory with drum sprocket .325 pitch to a drum with rim sprocket with 3/8 pitch.

Hey Kevin, what's the difference between 3/8 and. 325 sprocket. I'm changing from star to rim on ms170.Will either fit with a 3/8 pitch chain?

thanks yall

Do you know how I can make my 02 kx250 faster?

i like your video :)

Can it cause the chain to not willingly run like the brake is almost activated, and the chain skips over the sprocket making noise? PS sort your trash, if youre lucky your scrap is worth some money. :)
