Thats what I've tried, plus shallow, several different brands. I dont know what the deal is but its the same with my 261 also. Guess I have to find one with thinner walls.

IIRC, mine are Craftsman, which are now carried by Lowes

True but thats not really an advantage to me. I'm not crazy about how they look, I have one on my 661 but then again its a saw... not like its supposed to be pretty.



I will too just as soon as I can find a socket that fits into the stock baffle to take the nuts off. All my 8mm and 5/16s are too fat walled. Must have tried 6 different sockets at this point and none fit in there.

Stihls 8mm T handle is what you need - 5910 890 2420.

The Stihl tool fits and the Wiha doesn't..go figure..it's hard to see the difference at a simple glance..but it's there.

Stuck the socket on an impact, while spinning it, grind it with angle grinder. I have done a few, NOT PAYING STIHL for the premium fancy thin wall socket.

I have a scrench with 10mm /8mm and the common hex for Husqvarna on the post, it was 2 $ in a pile at the local saw shop.
It grabs the carb bolts well.

Called my Stihl guy today and asked him to order the PN sawmikaze posted. Said it was $5 and some change.

I guessing its more to do with the dealer. If he had adjusted for inflation there'd be a zero behind that 5.....
