I don't know, but I'd just go to a saw dealer and get a pair of bar nuts. They might cost $3.

I did that exact thing three weeks ago. Now I have four back-up nuts for each of my six (or is it nine?) saws.

I have 2 bar nuts now. I think since I have a spare I have not lost one. I keep another bar on hand too. Spark plug too. A sprocket too with a snap ring.

You can buy a bag of 10 pretty cheap from Baileys so you'll have plenty of spares next time.

You can keep going with only one bar nut for the rest of the week.....just don't lose the last one :D

I don't no maybe you have a reading disability.... I said I couldn't get to the dealer to get the proper ones right away so I need to just use nuts from my bolt bin...

Sure, I should have read it a little more closely.

Keep in mind that on metric nuts (similar to SAE) that there is also a thread pitch. M8 refers to the diameter of the stud but the thread pitch could be 1.0, 1.25, 1.50, etc. I think Stihls have a pitch of 1.25 but I'm not sure without measuring it.

Paul_H · May 30, 2013, 09:59:43 AM

If you go to a sawshop and ask for a bar nut for a 460 they will know.

flashhole · June 19, 2013, 05:52:05 PM

Any decent hardware store will have one that fits.

scully · June 20, 2013, 08:58:43 PM

I lost nuts before , I buy spares and lose them too . I think people need to shut up while I'm workin on my saw ! It makes me forget to tighten stuff !

sawguy21 · June 20, 2013, 10:40:27 PM

:D scully, a few responses come to mind but I'll leave you alone while you tighten yer...errr..stuff.

When I work on anything I lay the parts out so I know where they are at and can find them easily. Then My wife walks by and thinks she needs to put things away her way. Can't find anything.
