That’s the saw I have! I’m not as dumb as I look.
I've got a problem where something on the side plate is bent, and when the brake goes on, the plastic bit doesn't engage with the 3 spoke metal thing, unless I loosen the two nuts. I haven't worked out what is bent.
Yup...my saw...I did the rookie mistake...Thanks again for tips and tricks, excuse me...(Techniques)
Thank you!!! Great video saved the day!!!!
How does it measure up against Sthil Farm Boss?
Nothing like fighting with a saw for several hours in the woods to get home and find I could fix it in about 30 seconds. Thanks for the video!!
Glad to help
yep i learnt that
lesson learned
The only thing better is getting so pissed that you smash your saw to bits, completely destroying it and then finding out it would have been an easy fix….
Ditto.
@@u.sonomabeach6528 😂😂😂😂😂 I was in my garage, so lucky. Of course I’m a super amateur and have never been in the woods with a saw so 🤷♂️ Very new to this, took me days to find this video tho ✌️ I have loved Steve’s videos for years but didn’t even know what solution to look for, so confused. So happy now!
Steve: I can not thank you enough for this easy to understand video! I would never have been able to figure that out on my own in many, many, hours. I started to do the repair the wrong way just like you described (using a screw driver to pry off the cover)! After 69 years of living, you taught an old dog a new trick! Thanks again so much!
You're Welcome...
Figured out the problem but didn't know how to fix it thanks a million for such a easy simple fix
So a guy messed up reseting my clutch. I was trying to get clutch cover off. So I found this video. Easy peasy. much appreciated. Funny think was referred to the same video a few years ago.
Steve, you are a hero. Neighbour handed in a Husqvarna 455 rancher this morning with exactly that problem. A quick check of your vid and the guy gets his saw back within an hour. Thanks very much.
Right on Neil! You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve for this video. I wish your channel was around years ago. I made the same mistake as you mentioned. I took it to a shop where the mechanic said "I don't know if I can fix it, but I have to charge you $70.00 an hour with no guarantees." I walked out of his shop and ordered a new cover. The reason why I started learning how to fix engines is because of the shitty & expensive service in my area. I bought tools, books and now watch your videos. Now I mock the local shops and fix my engines and my neighbors for free. Thanks for your videos and keep em' commin'.
More than just a thumb up , thanks a billion for the helpful idea !
You're welcome...
Thanks a million man!! Saved my butt!
That’s what I needed. I was pretty sure what was causing the problem but couldn’t figure out how to do the fix. Saved the day. Thanks!
Glad I could help
Steve, as a newbie to the world of chainsaws. I did EXACTLY what you described regarding the clutch cover removal. Used my Husqvarna Rancher 460 for the 2nd time this past weekend, did not check the chain tension on day 2 and lost the 24" chain that came with the chainsaw. (I was looking for an excuse to buy an Oregon chain 😎) I pried the cover off with a flathead. Purchased a new chain, installed it on the bar and sprocket and the damn cover wouldn't seet properly. I was prepared to take my new Husqvarna into the local shop for repair. I tell friends of mine constantly that any information that you need regarding product knowledge and how-to's - you can most likely find on youtube. I came back into the house after closing up the shop, sat down and decided I would try to find a video similar to the problem I was having. Yours was the first one that came up. Everything you described in the beginning of that video was spot on regarding my situation. I did just as you suggested and got it to mount flush. The doggone thing is working 100% now. Thank you very much for doing this video. You saved me from the walk of shame at the local repair shop.
Right on Mark! You're Welcome...
Ha, did exactly as the other novices; felt the friction, pulled it off anyway. Option #1 solved it at once. Awesome - thanks!
Glad it helped!
Can not thank you enough! Was exactly my problem and thanks for not only showing how to fix the problem but explain how the mistake was made so we rookies don't make the mistakes again. Appreciated!
Great to hear!
I was fiddling around with my saw for about two hours. I knew what was wrong, but I could not fix it. Fixed in about thirty seconds after this. Thank you so much!!
You're Welcome...
Steve:What a great guy! Even though the two chainsaw brake videos didn't specifically address my MS192TC Stihl, you pointed me in the right direction where I was able to locate the brake area behind two T-20 star screws. The area was filled with a decade of oil and sawdust which froze the brake. Cleaned it out, reassembled it and finished my task for the day. Cheers!
Right on
You rule Steve... just made this mistake today, knew it had something to do with the clutch brake, etc. Felt my blood beginning to boil, but refrained from launching the saw across the driveway thankfully. Going to go try this in a bit. Will edit in a few! EDIT- wrenche/vise worked like a charm, thanks Steve!!
Right on
Oh my God by accident I gave your video a try and I’m having this problem with my husky chainsaw and you saved me a trip to the service shop . Steve thanks so much for this information.
You're Welcome...
You are now my new favorite youtuber. Since I've found your channel, I've used multiple tips and tricks I learned from your videos to fix things in seconds that I spent hours trying to fix and getting very frustrated with. Thankyou sir and god bless you for sharing your valuable knowledge!
Awesome, thank you!
Brand new Husky, never used, and had the stuck chainsaw brake issue!!! We were at a dead halt!!! My niece found your video, and got my saw fixed and ready to rock and roll in no time!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR SAVING THE DAY, AND WEEKEND OF WORK FOR US!!!
Right on Nancy! You're Welcome...
Happened to me when a rope gut entangled around the sprocket and made the cover pop off. Couldn't for the world understand what had happened. Thought it was broken. But then after several hours I understood. Very irritating! Good you brought it up!
Right on buddy...
Now here's the question. Why didnt I watch this video before I took the whole brake assembly apart and fought with it for an hour!
Hey you're not alone
I did the same..
@@michaelstevens1601 Me too!! Can't get the spring back on.
If i could have watched you, i could have saved myself 2 hours!
Riddle me this... Why did I do the same thing twice?
Thanks Steve, that's a neat little trick. "Don't take off side cover with brake on" should be one of the first things a person reads in the maintenance section of their Husqvarna manual...
Good point!
Steve's trick to unlock the chainsaw brake by twisting or conjoling (sp?) absolutely made my day. It works!!!! And my saw is back in action
Right on
I have a problem, I look up your video’s on the exact problem I have then I follow your advice step by step and BAM problem solved. You’re putting small engine dudes outta business in my area LOL
LOL! Right on...
This guy is awesome. My buddies chainsaw brake locked up. Watched this video and had it fixed within 5 minutes.
Right on Aaron!
This video could kick-start a “dumb fix” playlist if you haven’t already made one. I mean if you “already haven’t“…one of my favorite phrases, bring it back! 😂
THANK YOU!!! My work partner and I have been struggling with this for an hour!
You're Welcome...
Glad to hear that! I feel better now.
I wish you had done this video 12 years ago I locked my break when I was cleaning my saw for the first time and fought with it for over a hour. Thanks for your easy too understand videos. I’ve learned a lot of these things myself but have got some new ideas from you. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Alan...
I was out in the trees with the manual hoping it would be in there somewhere. so I went home to look for helpful vids.
why isn't this in the manual?
Man, the part about the stuck brake was gold. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
Struggled with this problem for 45 minutes before finding this vid. Very helpful, thank you.
Yasss..OMG!!.. thank you Sir! My frustrations have finally come to a happy end. Steve, mate..🍻🙏🍻
Right on Mikey! You're Welcome...
Thanks! Cause I know I have pounded that side plate back on wondering what was wrong with it, now I am wondering what was wrong with me!!
LOL. You're welcome...
Thanks for starting this video off with cracking open a beer. I followed your lead and it immediately helped the situation.
I watched this same video 3 years ago when the same thing happened to me. I remembered what to do the second time except the part where you pull back to get the click to open the spring. You should make a shorted version of this video where you shotgun two beers and then just get right to point.
Cheers!
I recently inherited my Dad's chainsaw that I've been trying to get working. I suspect this was his issue. I appreciate this quick fix to keep a tool that means a lot to me.
Right on
Great tip , a simple thing like that can cause a whole lot of frustration. question i have one of the old pioneer saws, p61. i am not sure of the fuel ratio for that old bugger, would you happen to know what it is? its a 1983 , its number is wore off , but it looks like p61
I believe those were 25:1, but that's before the quality of mix oil was as good as it is today! Good quality mix oil at 32:1 should be just fine....
Hi Steve good video like your l live in USA in the mountains of Kentucky I have 4 or 5 chain saws and you know thay break down thanks for great videos.
You're welcome...
Neighbor removed cover, brake engaged. Took cover off of spring mechanism, studied it, cleaned it, oiled it. Tried turning the 3 pt wheel with needle nose. No go. So stiff we thought it might be broken. Thanks for the tip. He’s a happy camper.
Well done!
Just saved me from wAsting another hour, I’m heading back out to the shop and use the knowledge that you just taught me! Thank you😊
You're Welcome...
Thank you Steve. I just used your technique on a '16 562XP...yep, some genius pulled the cover off with the brake engaged. He swears it was half-cocked and wouldn't release. He then used a screwdriver to persuade it off the rest of the way. I cleaned it out really good and reset it your way. It was super gooped up and acting like glue. It's still very cold here and I'm using winter weight bar oil, and not cutting any conifer.
No pay raise, bonuses or any new tools for that guy until he pays it off...extra firewood cutting and hand splitting for him! :). You saved my bacon.
Been fighting this damn thing for hours. Steve to the rescue. Thanks bro.
You're Welcome...
You are a gift to those of us that have made that mistake. I’m just getting started with chainsaw repair and service. I do it for free for our Louisiana Baptist Disaster Relief groups and I just ran into that issue. Thanks so much.
You're Welcome...
After running Stihl saws for years, recently bought a Husqvarna 550XP, after taking apart to do routine maintenance and cleaning, and reassembly makes me appreciate the simplicity of Stihls, won’t buy anymore Husqvarna. Stihl just makes it simple and easy, internal clutch is much easier to mount bar/chain, take apart/reassemble.
You just saved me an embarrassing trip to a small engine shop! SUBBED!!
Right on
Came up against this issue today while using a friend's Husquvarna - I'm a Stihl user - couldn't figure it out at first then, Samsung mobile broadband, CZcams and Steve came to the rescue. Option 1 worked a treat, so, many thanks from N. Ireland.
You're Welcome...
Great explanation, and better yet, three easy options. Way easier than opening it up and prying on the spring, like some of the other videos say to do.
Glad it helped!
This is one of the best videos on CZcams. Great step-by-step explanation of the problem and how to fix it. Like others have commented, once I knew what to do, it was a matter of 10-15 seconds of work. Many thanks!
Wow, thanks!
I got my saw stuck this morning in an ash tree that was leaning against another tree. To make a long story short the tree came down and pinched the saw and knocked it to the ground. I figured out it was the chain break but couldn't figure out how to reset it. Watched your video in my workshop and grabbed a 7/16 wrench and my vice and was back in business! Only thing I broke was chain break handle. Thanks allot Steve I'll keep watching your videos I'm learning allot.
You're Welcome...
You are the best Steve. The other sites offered the same old stuff. You got to actually solving the problem. Thank you thank you!
Glad to help
I just bought a 450 Rancher. When I took it home to assemble the bar etc, I got ahead of the instructions and had to pry the side cover off as the chain brake was locked. Of course I couldn't get the cover back on.....took it to the dealer and they took it out back to reset the spring. I didn't watch. Then I went 3 hours away to tackle some trees blown over by hurricane Ian. My chain came off so I had to remove the side cover. I knew there was a procedure to follow. I forgot to release the brake, pried it off and was in a pickle without the ability to reset it. Steve, this video saved me a lot of grief using the first method you showed, even though I had to return home with the problem . Even better, the cover was on with moderate tension on the nut. Pulling the brake handle back did it. How easy! Thanks Steve!
You're Welcome...
You have no idea how thankful I am for this. I did the exact thing on my 455 Rancher when cleaning, lol
Glad I could help
OMG, thank you, so much for this video - I spent 3 days messing with this. Ordered a new clutch cover and had the same challenge. life saver!
Glad it helped!
you prolly don't get this often enough, but you sir are awesome. Thanks for the video and not 1 but 3 ways to fix the issue. i used #3 . Thank you very much you saved my Christmas.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Thank you, thank you. Thank you. That is exactly what I did, I thought I was gonna have to take it into the shop. Now I can go cut wood tomorrow as planned. You're awesome.
Glad I could help
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon me too
Outstanding! I was scratching my head for 15 minutes - option 2 took about 15 seconds. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
Thanks for this video, I couldn't take my chainsaw to the shop to have it fixed due to the lockdown, but this showed me how to do it perfectly
Great to hear!
you just save me an angry trip back to lowes, this world needs more people like you! thank you thank you thank you
You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve!!! I made the mistake of pulling the cover off with the chain brake on and could not figure out how to fix it. You saved me from needlessly spending money taking it into the shop and looking dumb. Thanks buddy!
You're Welcome...
I had this problem years ago, and watched many videos that completely failed to explain the problem, much less how to fix it. You’re a legend.
Thank You...
Got a bunch of debris stuck in my chain this morning, did not notice the brake was set. Thanks for the help Steve!
Glad to help
Steve, you are the man. exactly what happened to my Husqvarna. I thought I could come to your site and find a solution. Bam, there it was. Thanks so much.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
It worked. I was messing with it for an hour till I saw this video. First saw I’ve owned so I didn’t realize what it takes to remove a chain.
Right on
Steve, steve, steve, where were you ten minutes ago? I watched ten videos about removing the side cover, none addressed releasing the brake. The manual didn’t either. I did get the cover off eventually using a plastic vehicle trim tool.
Then your video appeared in my feed…. 😭😭😭😭😭
You are a national treasure.
Another five minute job taking hours.
Right on buddy! Thank You...
You saved my bacon with this one. I was stumped on the reset. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
One of the very best "how-to' ever. Thank you Steve.
WOW! You're Welcome...
Thank you so much I can’t tell you how many times I took this thing apart and then put it back together and then took it apart but your video made it so simple. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Awesome. I'm an idiot and forced the clutch cover off without releasing the chain break. This has saved my A$$! Thank You!
You're Welcome...
I absolutely love you! You have saved my self respect! I must have watched 0 videos from husqvarna and YOUR'S made sense and worked. I subscribed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Wow, thanks! and You're Welcome...
A cell phone and this video kept the day from being wasted for some friends clearing downed trees on a neighbor's lot today. I stopped to say hello, and they showed me the problem they had been fighting for an hour or so. I searched Steve's channel, and 10 minutes later, the saw was running. It can be done without the beer, which is a good thing, because, hey, there are chainsaws involved! I left, but heard later there were a few brews consumed after the loading, transport, and unloading. Thanks , Steve!
Awesome...You're Welcome...
Saved me a trip to the shop and a night of lost cutting. Thanks!
Excellent!
You are amazing, you saved my frustration again!!!! I preyed the cover off and no way was it going back on!!! Thank You!!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks BIG time! I have this exact problem, and did what you said most people do. I have been very frustrated. After watching your video, I now know how to solve the problem. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
I was going to try a crows foot and breaker bar...figured I'd do a search first. At least now I know what size to grab. Rarely have I had any luck putting one back on the case. What happens with these is more of a brake half engaging. The handle is halfway between locked and unlocked so you don't see it. If the cover hasn't been off in awhile or if you are working with dirty stuff you sometimes need a slight nudge with a screw driver to get the cover off. If you feel pressure, you stop and check the brake but we aren't prying the cover off, the half engaged brake snaps shut as the cover comes off. It's happened to me 3 times on 2 different ranchers. Love your videos, thanks for posting them.
Fixed my exact problem. Pulled the plate off for cleaning and was scratching my head trying to get it back on. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I was borrowing my friend's saw, a Husqvarna 460 rancher, and this happened to me. Your video saved my A**, and the work day. Thank you so much for the help!!
Glad I could help
Worked perfectly on my 450 Rancher. I was about to pry it off. Thanks for saving me lots of time and frustration.
Glad I could help
Couldn’t figure out what I did, this was a great tutorial for my Husq chainsaw fix! Thanks!
You're Welcome...
Steve. I’ve had a helluva time getting the chain brake to reset. I watched a few vids but yours didn’t come up. I should have known to come here first,duh! None of the other ways worked but putting that wrench in my vice popped it right to unlock. Thanks for always being here with great advice and tricks!
Glad it helped
Big help, thank you. I knew what the problem was but just couldn't fix it. this video had me straightened out in no time..
Right on Mikey! You're Welcome...
Steve, I could just hug you for this video. I couldn't help it but to Lol at myself. Everything that you said Not to do, I did.😢 God knows I didn't want to buy a new saw. I did what you said and it worked. Praise God. I may need to buy a new bar and chain, but I can live with that. Again thank you so very much. Keep up the Great work/ videos. God Bless you and your family. 😂
Holy cow! I feel like such an idiot. You just saved me from probably breaking my darn chainsaw because I couldn't get the cover back on. Wow. I never make that mistake again. Thank you so much man!!! Now if I could only get ahold of one of those cold Rainiers. You're awesome.
I am happy to help...
Super helpful - took the entire saw apart a couple of times. Searched all over for videos before I came across this one - fixed and running in short order. Thanks!
You're welcome!
After prying the cover off my chainsaw because it just wouldn't come off....I couldn't get it to go back on. Spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why my cover had suddenly changed shape and no longer fit my chainsaw. This video is EXACTLY what I did. Thank you for saving me a trip to the shop and probably $100. What an amazing channel.
Thank You...
Thanks champion! I also did the rookie move “take the cover off without checking”. Saved my bacon.
Cheers🥳
You're Welcome...
Rainier Beer, Best beer commercials in the North West. Almost as good as the beer.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you 🙏 so much you just save us from multiple hours of searching the right solution. Keep uploading more great 👍 videos!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you very much for posting this video! Like other people, we worked on the saw for hours but fixed it in seconds after trying your first tip. Thanks again...
Great to hear!
Steve keep up the great videos. I know this is an older video, but the saw was sitting for a bit apart and somehow the brake got set and i lost the tool to reset it. such a simple fix, but i didn't know about. love the channel. thank you for all you do.
You're Welcome...
Thank you so much for this video. I thought I broke my chainsaw haha. I can’t believe how easy it was to do, awesome instruction. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Fantastic tutorial Steve, I used your 7/16 wrench trick on my Husqvarna. Back in service within minutes. Cheers.
Thank You...
Outstanding easy to understand, could not get the side cover back on. I could see that the spring needed reset. followed the instructions and the brake reset allowing me to easily slide the side cover back on. This video saved me from taking it in to be fixed. Like I mentioned I could see the problem but did not know the fix. This saved me a of hassle and money. Thanks for a great video that was short and to the point!
Thanks Steve, you saved my husband a trip to the saw shop! He owes you a cold Rainier.
That is awesome!
Steve you are the favorite I have looked at lots but they dont ever address the mistakes. You have saved me from frustration, no wasted time, just all the details. Such a relief.
Thanks John...
It felt like you were talking directly to me when you were talking about how people use a screwdriver to reef off the cover. Thanks for the tip. A real lifesaver!
Glad I could help
THANK YOU STEVE!! Two hours into simply attempting to replace the chain, my day was pretty much shot after not being able to put the housing cover on correctly. I had the brake mechanism opened up, but couldn't figure out how to re-position the spring mechanism without breaking the whole darn thing. Thanks to you, I realized that I needed to apply extra muscle, and I was able to salvage this beautiful Spring day, and now have some nice cherry logs ready for milling. After watching your video, and hearing you say, "now get back to work', was the most hopeful moment I had all day! :-)
Right on Buddy...
Out of the box my Husqvarna had the brake locked. This was very helpful.
Thank You...
Been fighting with this problem like a jackass for an hour, thank god for people like you out there putting videos out on these issues.
Right on Jonny!
Same here
I can't thank you enough for your excellent instruction. Unlocking the brake, once you demonstrated the procedure, worked great. I don't consider myself mechanical, but I can follow instructions. You have a real gift. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Perfect. Thanks very much. I made the stupid move you mentioned..."Hmm...this cover won't come off...maybe I should pry it a bit..." Now, with your instruction, I was able to get it back on. I really appreciate it.
I couldn't use the 'hold it on crooked and use the hand brake lever to fix' approach. Instead, I put an open end end wrench head upward in my vise, using it to rotate the spring as you illustrated.
Again, thank you!
You're Welcome...Glad that helped...
Dude thanks so much for this video! Just bought a new clutch cover cause I f’d it up trying to reset it! I will download this to my brain hard drive for next time 😂
Thanks Steve: You just saved me from ordering a new clutch brake cover for my Husqvarna 445 chain saw. ( which I now know probably would have had to be released too) I hear ya.....gonna get back to work after arguing with that darn cover for two hours. Thanks again....and subscribed.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Great stuff. That was exactly where i was. Couldn`t get the cover plate back on because the brake was on.
Thanks a million, you solved my chainsaw problem. I could never figure out how to fix it, and watched your video while waiting on hold forever to talk to technician at Husqvarna.
You're welcome!
