STIHL grass trimmer bearing replacement

I needed to replace a bearing from the lower gearbox of a STIHL FS 56 trimmer

After a long period of time, this bearing failed
Piece numer is 95030039853, type 609-2Z

Advice: buy an original one, do not use any bearing type 609; the rotation speed is very high, so we need a bearing to withstand the forces

You made removing the bearing in 2:20 look easy. I ended up breaking metal pieces around the housing and just through it to the trash. Love the video thought!

I loved the visual instructions, which were extremely helpful and like that there was no audio to the video even more - Thx

Top tip. If you heat the housing right where the bearing sits it will drop right out. And in when you assemble 😉

Good stuff! I like the way you emphasized on throwing away the old bearing, i sensed i high level of frustration being released and i laughed so hard😂😂😂

Nice an simple, ❤. from trinidad

I got new idea from you to remove front bearing. It is difficult to take it out if it is stuck firmly. Thanks

are there non stihl bearings available

[nrgcarrington]

"Safety washers" known as circlips in English. A safety washer is usually a lock washer - serrated or friction.

If bearing was not spinning, where was the source of the noise??
Was it the drive shaft end?

[johnnywishbone]

So it's like a $2-5 repair? Thank you for all your help!

I see 2 bearings here correct? And only one replaced? If I'm wrong let me know, would like second part number for the other.

The clearing saw has been used for more than 10 years in grass clearing and is really a stubborn surface of grass leftover. One could say "glazed" as a green hard surface. Should a broken bevel gear be replaced and it would be nice to first clean around. The steel brush is the only trick to rub the aluminum shaft to shine. Would there be "gentler" ways to dissolve with a substance that would not corrode aluminum?

good video...

So only the bearing was worn? I have same problem but was thinking the gears were damaged... I may just need the bearing.

There are 3 bearings in some of them. The two that were replaced in this video aswell as one in top of hat 🎩. Make sure an put the gear grease in to the head too.

[MrTumbleweed]

Don't forget there's 3 bearings in there . 1 on the driveshaft side and 2 on the cutting head side

Heat the housing.. and it'll fall right out.. all bearings are press fit..

Hello, thanks for the video. I'm using a FS560 C-EM and I had the same problem, but I was upset when I find that the greasing hole does't go in the gear Chamber, it goes behind the upper bearing, filling the transmission bar! Why? How can I show you in picture?

[juanmagdaleno]

Do you have to take the second circlip off to take the out but shaft bearing ?

[easydo]

Can we use the kombi attachments to fs 55???
