I have a Stihl chainsaw MS 181 CB-E part number 1139-011-3012 and need to remove the muffler to check the spark arrestor. The bolts holding it on are either a proprietary or security head. Does anyone know what tool is needed to be able to remove the muffler? My assumption is this is to guard against modification.

Muffler

    Could you show us a picture of the bolts?

  • A quick search for your model number plus "parts" gave me this page which shows a listing of tools available from Stihl for that saw. Nothing special about a couple of sockets, flat blade screwdrivers or an Allen key/hex wrench. We'll really need a very clear, focused pic of the bolts in question in order to determine if it's really something special.

  • Google search for muffler removal calls for using a T-27 driver, (a torx screwdriver). Check for yourself incase I goofed.

  • I just added muffler removal. The allen keys in your comment link probably are torx type also.

After staring at my photo for a few minutes I realized these are just plugs. After prying out the plugs the Torx bit presented its self.
