Craftman Chain Saw Model 358.355061. The Oil Discharge Line disintegrated. Can it be replaced without taking crankcase apart?

It is possible to replace the oil discharge line on a Craftsman Chain Saw Model 358.355061 without taking the crankcase apart. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Gather the necessary tools and parts. You will need a new oil discharge line, a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and a funnel.

2. Locate the oil discharge line. The oil discharge line is a small, flexible tube that connects the oil pump to the chain bar. It is located near the bottom of the saw, just behind the chain.

3. Remove the old oil discharge line. Use the screwdriver to loosen the clamp that holds the oil discharge line in place. Then, use the pliers to remove the line from the oil pump and the chain bar.

4. Install the new oil discharge line. Insert the new oil discharge line into the oil pump and the chain bar. Then, tighten the clamp to hold the line in place.

5. Add oil to the saw. Use the funnel to add oil to the saw. The oil level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the oil tank.

6. Test the saw. Start the saw and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks from the oil discharge line. If there are no leaks, the saw is ready to use.

Here are some additional tips for replacing the oil discharge line on a Craftsman Chain Saw Model 358.355061:

* Be sure to use the correct replacement oil discharge line for your saw model.

* If the oil discharge line is damaged, it is important to replace it as soon as possible to avoid damage to the saw.
