any wood cutters?
 

I changed my chain on my STIHL 029 farm boss the other day and I over tightened one of the bar bolt nuts and the bolt got stripped. I had to cut the nut off but the threads are boogered up.

are those studs replacable?

Cant say for sure, I never had to replace my bar studs. BUT I would assume you can replace them. I am curious how tight do you tighten them to have that happen?

too tight :)

apparently

I would think they are re-placable but as I haven't broke or stripped one myself I cant say for sure either..... But I will say this GRI.......
leave the cheater bar in the tool box.... LOL

its a standard torquing practice to tighten till it strips then back off 1/4 turn hehehehehehe

without looking at it its hard to say but if it is actually a stud then you can back it out and get a new one

Yes they are replacable, they are different front to back and if the housing is bad its around 100 bucks for that part

the housing is fine. I have been looking for a parts break down but with no sucess. do you know how to remove them bastages?

Got a BFH in your toolbox? lol

they unscrew out of the housing , i can print the pic and scan tonight if you need it
