    Looks to be new main bearings, case in the oven and crank and new bearings in the freezer. I do that to my wife all the time, LOL! Also looks to be a 562 case.

    Almost a perfect score! The bearings are actually already in the case halves. We're replacing a broken crank (and the bearings) in Chvymn99's Masterminded 562XP.

    And it's about time.... :emb:. Sorry about the wait Kevin. :hair:

    I saw the bearings in the case but thought you were R&Ring them. OBTW there is a Husqvarna tool that makes heating the case and freezing the crank unnecessry. It is a simple contraption that pulls the crank through the bearings with little or no side thrust being applied to the bearings. Also, makes very precise alignment of the crank in the case.

    Any chance you have part #'s? I'm all about having tools like that to get this kind of work done. I have the similar Stihl tools to do cold assembly/dis-assembly but this is the first of the new generation Husky's to come through the shop and I had to get all redneck/old-school on it to get it done. Can't seem to locate any specifics about the tools (like part #'s........) and my dealer/source for these things sells Stihl 10-1 over the Husky's and they don't always have the latest version of the dealer manual at the counter.

    If I had to do this over again, I would probably assemble the bearings to the crank in the traditional manner. There appears to be some side thrust on the bearings post-assembly and that makes the crank rotation a tad stiff for my liking.

    Very impressed at the engineering in this saw. It was clearly meant to be worked on as it comes apart in easy "modules" with no special tricks to employ. Putting the carb box/intake manifold back together on a MS441 takes as long as it does to remove the top end on this saw.

    'Bearings on the crank!' Nooooooooooooooo! do not do that RTFM, that is asking for trouble. The process is heat the case to 200°C tap the case on a block of wood, bearings will drop out, put the case halfs back in the oven when hot again drop in the frozen bearings let the case cool. Then use the assembly tool to pull the crank into the clutch side of the case, install new gasket, use the assembly tool to pull the crank into the flywheel side.

    That's awful hot for most paints, nearly 500 deg F.

    OK, taking a look, 200 deg C is the recommended temp. Who says that silver paint isn't tough!

    200°C is around 392°F! What happens is that doing bearings on the crank you will end up with the bearings not where they belong in the case and the crank off-center in the case. That situation will get you ruined bearings or case! Don't believe everything you read on Another Site.
