Need new chain drive sprocket on Stihl 032AV. Do I replace it with the original Rim sprocket or go with a new SPUR sprocket?? The cost is about the same.

Is it just the sprocket rim that's worn out, or is the whole clutch drum bad also? If it's just the rim, they're pretty cheap and easy to replace on your own.


This should be the rim sprocket you have.

Its still has the original Spur sprocket on it. So I will need the Clutch Drumb either way. Just wondering if I should replace it with the new RIM style. I had it backwards on my first post and reworded it.

Rim sprockets allow easier / more frequent changing of the drive sprocket and are considered and upgrade if the saw came with a spur.

For a occasional user, both work fine though.
