Husqvarna 540T XP leak

[Carhartt]

Anyone split a Husky 540T? I got one recently that runs fine but wouldn't you know it leaks bar oil out the front of the case. So I guess ill split it and ad a new gasket. I also noticed a small amount of side to side movement on the crank. Is this common on these saws? What is the best method to split these little guys? Probably replace seals also.

I got the gasket. So I will split and see what happens. Maybe ill put up some pics.

Anyone ever split one of these before? Removed screws, cpl taps if the rubber mallet and case fell apart. Cpl more taps n crank fell out. Are these built that poorly? I understand the crank wobble now.
