Is this the area where I should be posting this question? Oh well, here goes anyway.
I have two Stihl chainsaws. One has a 14 inch bar and the other has a 25 inch bar. The 25 inch saw about kicks my scrawny butt just to use, but there are some chores that only it will handle. It was my only saw until recently, when I bought the 14 incher.
Last night, I went to change blades on both saws. It was the first time I had changed the blade on the 14 inch saw. That was uneventful. But the 25 inch saw is always a challenge for me to change the blade. I get it on the top of the guidebar and it slips off when I try to get it on the bottom. It just seems to me that there has to be an easier way. Is there a trick or is changing the blade on a large saw just not all that easy to do?
