Craftman Chain Saw Model 358.355061. The Oil Discharge Line disintegrated. Can it be replaced without taking crankcase apart?

Answer 1

yes I just replaced mine this morning. You have to take the small cover off with the two screws. If you do this gently you can save the cork gaskets. drain out any oil that may be left in the tank. Push the old one through the hole that holds it by the bar. Clean out any debris from the old line that may still be in the tank. Now for the tricky part, push the new line through the small hole by the bar. I had to spin the line in a clockwise motion and help with a needle nose pliers push it in. You may have to, once the hose is all the way in, reach the long part of the hose with a bent wire to pull it to you. You then attach the metering device to the hose and hope it works. Hope this helped!
