I have a TimberPro Chainsaw and the Bar Bolts have either Stripped, or the Securing Nuts Striped or maybe the Bolt Securing grooves have stripped. Whatever the problem is I need to replace the bolts or if the problem is the Nuts being stripped , I need to remove the Nuts.
The only way I can remove the Nuts is to drill out the Bolt which would of course destroy the bolt so what ever the Bolt will require replacement.
I have just watched a (Generic) You Tube video on how to replace these bolts and it requires a COMPLETE Strip down of the Chainsaw including removal of the engine which in itself involves splitting the engine apart and removal of the Clutch. In other words a complete strip down of the Chainsaw.
Even after all of this, if the problem becomes the stripped case housing that secures these studs, then the case housing will need replacement. What an absolute ridiculous design when all that could be required should be unscrewing the studs from the machine and replacing them.
SO the question is, are these Bar Bolt Studs on a Timber Pro saw similar to what I have described, or are they more sensibly constructed. If the answer to that is Yes, then the whole process is not worth the bother and the Chainsaw will be sent to meet its maker.
Anyone got any advice?
