i need to put new oil pump and nylon gear on my 064,how do you get the oil line off and new 1 on ,super stiff,been pulling on the line with pliers ,dont want to force it,anything else to look out for,thanks
I normally cut it off, buy a new one, which I heat before I put it on. The nipple in the outlet end I heat too, while pressing it into the line. I use a soldering iron for pressing, which I switch on when I start pressing.
They could easily have made it a bit smarter!!
Use a heat gun, but don't get the line to hot as it will collapse. You can pull it out while limber. Best to leave in and when you get a oil pump (rare) just reattach.
jrent, welcome to the forum. Whatcha got for a saw? or saws ;D
