Stihl BR 600 piston pin

[Carhartt]

I got a Stihl BR 600 with a piston pin bearing seized. Turns out these do not have a bearing like a chainsaw, but its a copper bushing. Not sure if I can clean it up or have to replace crank just to repair the blower. If so that a terrible idea from Stihl on a commercial backpack blower.

Its a bronz bushing. There are people enough that can make them on lathe.

So you can press them in and out of the crank? Maybe if you heat the crank It would just fall out.

Yes you can press them out.

Let one made. Press it in the conrod and than you need to ream them at the needed diamension.
