Folks just buy a 592xp and run it stock, dont bother with the 500i, such an over rated saw that needs so many upgrades to still get shit on by a 592xp . Surprised he didn't do the trash filtration system on the 500 to stop it eating chips.

Use it it heat up that stuck valve a few heat cycles should free it up

Also let gravity help you push down on it at a cost of pressure

You need a really good set of vice grips joke up on that stud and honked down on it good or you twisting it then you allowed to twist Plus when you're heating a solid piece of metal it expands it's not like a bearing with a hole and a which contracts maybe heat to block around it a little better or something I'm not sure but put some dry ice on the stud I'm ready to get cold

2 years later I bet the saw is in the corner of garage collecting dust.

So you downgraded from captive clutch cover nuts to non-captive??? Sweet

should apply a bit of oil once the stud is hot

Those WCS clutch covers need tightening to specific torques - best to use a torque wrench.

Some friendly advice from the coach 🇸🇪 1. "soak" the stud bolt the day before either with W40 or similar. or a mix of gear oil and acetone. 2. heat the pin bolt until it is as red as a baboon's butt. 3. tap the pin bolt with a copper hammer "hard" 4. as you did tighten the stud bolt a bit before trying to loosen it. 5. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO AS WITH THE FIRST ONE❗

Needs bigger doggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The WCS are selling the Stihl original parts as fallers suspension kit. Order the following parts from your local Stihl dealer: 1135 791 2800 - foam Star - 5,99$ (1×) 1144 791 3103 - Spring - 4,99$ (1×) 1133 791 5900 - rubber buffer - 5,99 $ (2×) 22,96$ - Total costs WCS will charge you at least double price for their so-called suspension kit + sipping costs ✌️

Not another mall ninja saw. 😝

can you add links to all the upgrades sir???

Add a little candle wax or paraffin wax to the threads. The wax gets pulled in by capillary action to help loosen and lubricate the threads.

Just my opinion muffler mods are useless why do it so the saw runs faster its not a race car your cutting wood that's the main reason people do it. Should have used a power tool would have been a lot quicker just saying

I'm glad that I watched your video because I see that even with the magical tool you can still break off the bolt or stud.

Drive the roll pin in on oil pump n turn it up the rest of the way

The suspension kit looks like it might be a good option. Mine came with a wrap handle so I'm covered there. The big dawgs look more like bling than anything functional since I don't think it's a very good idea to really dig them in... But I guess that's a matter of individual taste. BTW, I didn't have any trouble removing my dawgs without removing the muffler. Just use a smaller wrench. The clutch cover replacement also sort of seems blingy. And you lose your captive nuts! I was also puzzled by the guide plate replacement. I don't think there's much stress on that part... so the only difference I can think of is that the saw gets heavier with the thicker one. Anyway, thanks for a fun watch!

Excellent tutorial! Learned alot thanks for sharing, please make more on axe stuff :)

metal expands as it gets hot. so you are expanding it into the hole.. you need to heat it up and then cool it quickly to make the stud expand and contract to free it up

Good tool in wrong hands

adding weight by useless cover, what is wrong with standard cover? is smaler and lighter. full wrap handle is not practical in forestry. dont know how you feel trees in usa but in europe they have to be cut low as possible. good luck with full wrap. its not a rescue saw. dogs take out your bar lenght, you need 2" longer bar to compensate it, just more weight. did you ever worked with a saw full day? useless mods at all

Don't crank down

You do not obviously know how to deal with rusty items like the gentleman said heat the area around the bolt I live in the rust belt actually on the east coast all I deal with are rusted nuts and bolts 24 and 7 while I'm fixing cars When you live in an area and rust you are not just an automotive technician who takes things apart you are a corrosion and rust expert You have to develop certain skills and techniques to work these things to avoid breaking bolts constantly otherwise you would never get a single job done Otherwise that done cool tool thank you for the demonstration

Not my project but when he snapped that bolt I had that pucker sensation

Try Ti-DAWGS

have you tried this on o2 sensors?

I heard bucking bill say they need atiffer bar springs. He did that to his its flexible as hell he said. Felt like it was going to break. Im sure he did that star spong too but i know stiffer apringes for sure.

the c83 x-cut chains are the fastest out of the box you need to test again

always turn a stuck bolt both ways before removing...firm taps with a hammer can also shock the corrosion bonds in the threads... heat is great but the two tips on left should always be done.

That thicker guide plate is going to move your bar over how is the chain alignment on the sprocket.

Not sure why your heating the studs. Its expanding inside the block which makes it harder to remove. Take a torch and warm the block around the studs

Why not replace the guide plate if and when it wears out?

been so much faster to use a 8mm wrench to hold that nut and not remove the muffler cover. Probably been said but...

Continuously torquing the stud in one direction while it is near red hot is sure to fail as heat is softening stud , heat it as near to the block as possible and allow it to soak in to the threads and rock the stud gently in both directions to try and clear some rust from the seized threads. A few hard blows to the end of the stud can help break it loose. The welder trick is the best choice if you have the tools . You could even cut the stud off about 3/8" from the surface and place a larger hex nut over it and weld it to the stud , the heat transfers very quickly right where you want it , this works great , if this does not work you are drilling and tapping anyway.

Can you do a quick video showing how to remove the spark arrestor? For cleaning/replacement

Why beat on that thing, take care of it and enjoy it for another 50 years.

how to make the machine heavier, that's it

Why have dogs on a milling saw?

I remove broken bolts with mig welder, it the easier way. Drill a small pilot hole in the broken bolt, start the weld in the hole, and build it up until you can get a large (new) nut on it. Fill the nut with weld pool to the top, , usually come out easy, sometimes I have to repeat with new nuts if it keeps breaking loose. I would not drill and tap unless you make a jig or use a drill press to keep the drill centered and vertical. I've also done it with a stick arc welder using 1/8 rods. Try using a nut twice the size of the one that snapped off, it allows more weld filler and gives more leverage. This one was snapped off below the surface and took 4 tries with bigger nuts each time. ua-cam.com/video/COpRIVGiTqo/v-deo.html

yeah, the suspension kit from Westcoast Saws is great for the 500i. The stock suspension leaves the Chainsaw like a wet noodle.

If you didn’t know I’m gonna tell ya you don’t have to take the exhaust off to take the dog off if

Nice video. Thank you.

If you got safety links on your x cut you got the wrong chain

Did WCS give you any price break getting all the extra parts you did? Where did you get the inner guide plate, can you send me a part number and link where you purchased it? Thank you.

With out your timing numbers i was able to tell the husqvarna x cut chain was slower then the stihl stock chain

Why no bark box, nor any air filter mod? Thanks

Thanks for your video. I am planing to buy a 500i soon, but wonder what you can tell me about/between the 462 since that was another saw I did think about. Thank you for anything you can help me with.

Just subscribe to your channel very interesting I'll be watching more of your videos you have a good day and take it easy

Nice! I’ll do the same on mine. I’m still on the fence about the wrap handle, I’ve been using saws without for a long time, but I could see some advantages.
