Just like the title says, we'll look at whats involved in replacing the crank seals in a Husqvarna 562XP chainsaw. I'll show you some factory tools and even break out the torque wrench for this repair! #smallenginerepair
Thanks great video. I’ve never seen anyone use a torque wrench on a seal. I’ve been looking at buying a set of seal tools. I see how you rolled instead of prying. Interesting to stop and listen. Almost a forgotten tool.
We had a run of 562 seals a while back. I just followed the workshop manual and thats what they wanted. Lucky for me I have an over priced snapon torque wrench 🙂
Probably the cleanest saw you worked on all month........ I tried to install these seals without an install tool and failed miserably. I did take my happy arse over to the lathe and make an install sleeve/tool after the second failed attempt.
I sure hope the 562xp mark II brings builds back the sturdy life reputation Husqvarna saws used to have before the 500 series came out 13 yrs ago. And may the" new" bearing seal combo for the 550 mark II restores my faith in their durability.
Sounds like Chris is coming that way this week. Hes going to bring my mac770 for you to take a look at. By all means do a video and play with it some. I'll have my fancy sharpening job done on it as well.
Your excellent presentations could only be improved by indicating what the final cost would be for the work you have done. Pretty sure I'm not the only one interested in this.
As an employee I have had to agree to a few terms in order to be allowed to record this work while on the clock. One is that I don't reveal customer names without permission and another is discussing costs. Anyway, labor rates are all over the place depending on what part of the world you're in. Thanks for your input.
I love your videos just a Husqvarna should be. That saw looked in pretty good condition did it have a leak? I am thinking about getting MKII 560/2 to semi-retire my 357. Do you think they will have fewer crankcase seal issues?
Yes many interchange but I screwed up. I didn't mark part numbers on the tools. They were just in bags and eventually got all mixed up or they rolled out of the bags while in the toolbox. Yes, careless. These days I just grab whatever works to get the job done.
Hello, I have a 562Xp which I pulled apart to change the seals. I watched your video and decided to try the repair myself. I did not have the plastic washer on my saw and don't see it in the parts diagram. My saw is a 2013. would the plastic washer be only on newer models? Thank you from a new subscriber.
The dealer portal parts diagram shows the washer. I don't know if they updated the diagram or if its always been there. You know, out of sight, out of mind.
This is an older repair and there was a short run of 562's that had questionable seals. Don't ask me the serial numbers because I don't know. This customer bought eight saws and one of them started running fast at idle. Sure enough a pressure/vaccuum test showed a leaking crank seal. After fixing that saw the customer expressed the same concern you did so we updated the seals in the rest of their saws. Husqvarna flat rate for a crank seal on a two piece case is 4/10 of an hour.
