That bench tho Mark! So kiwi. TipTop ice-cream containers and door-to-door tiny cookie buckets....I have to agree Randy, its just simple and easy. I've had the set since the end of 2018 and have used it many times for both Husky and Stihl saws. I assembled a MS660 china case with OEM internals last night:

I use the hell out of mine too. Thank you Matty.Have used mine now many,many times, always a joy, & so far no wear detected. Thanks Again
Hear hear!! So do I, waaaay down here in the South PacificI use the hell out of mine too. Thank you Matty.
It will center itself, if you let it, by doing the flywheel side first and placing the bearing fully in the pocket. This will automatically index the crankshaft in the case and the PTO side bearing simultaneously.Can't help but wonder if something along the lines of auto body shims could be made for centering the crank during assembly.?

How do those work, I have not seen them before?I just got a full set of these tools and used them on an old 066 yesterday.
Long video from Matt himself but if you skip up to about the 9 minute mark he starts using the tools he made.How do those work, I have not seen them before?
Oh, I have those crank tools from Matt...yeah, they are awesome. I was wondering how you would use the autobody shims. As for pulling the bearings in, I just use a bolt, nut and about 10 washers (sometimes I can get away with less than 10). Once I get the bearing set initially as straight as possible, then I assemble the bolt, washers and nut and just crank the bearing in with the ratchet drive.Long video from Matt himself but if you skip up to about the 9 minute mark he starts using the tools he made.
