Bearing Housing for Stihl FS38, FS45 Trimmer - 4144 640 5900, 4144-640-5900, 41446405900

Like many others here, I was having an issue with the string trimmer head on my FS-45 melting. The first time this happened to me, I wasn't sure what happened as the trimmer head had moved up and spun against the guard so as to melt it and ultimate fuse together. This happened again with a new head, and then I realized that the end of the trimmer tubing where this part is located was getting so hot that it was melting the head where the hex drive head sits in it. I tried to lubricate the original part with some heavy-weight 3-in-1 oil, but that didn't fix the issue. After some research, I found this part, ordered it, and installed it. The end gets warm, but not hot like before. The installation is relatively straightfoward and pretty easy. It probably took me about 15 minutes to install. Works great!

Installed it and used it last week for a few hours and so far it's held up so time will tell!

I could not find this product locally but I did on Amazon and it worked great

exact fit work like a charm

This worked perfectly on my Stihl FS40C. My head kept melting off and after watching some YouTube videos turned this part needed to be replaced. Also you will need to buy the lubricant. It has a small hole that allows you to put the lube inside. This was the reason it broke, this needs to be lubed about once every 6 months, more if you use it very often which mine I use about once every 2 weeks or so. Super easy to install and remove, just use a long ratchet socket to punch it in but don't hit the tip directly or it won't last as long.

Ther is nothing not to like it matches and fits perfectly in my Stihl weed eater at a perfect price.

saved buying new trimmer

I do recommend this part vs replacing the entire shaft. My local dealer couldn’t get just the bearing only a complete shaft.

Réparation d'une debroussailleuse

This small bearing seized on my Stihl FSE 60 Electric weed eater. I was told by a Stihl dealer that they didn't sell the individual part, but that I would have to buy the who wand assembly. I was advised it would be wiser to buy a new trimmer. Amazon had this original Stihl part. It took a little longer than anticipated for shipping as I live in Canada and it was shipped from the USA. The part was relatively easy to install and saved me buying a new trimmer.

Passt perfekt, Freischneider läuft wie neu, Einbau hat problemlos geklappt.
