I have a 455 Rancher saw which has an ongoing problem with the chain brake or clutch. I locked the chain to sharpen the saw and then the brake would not release. The steel band locks tight on the drum and will not release. The local small engine guy says it takes a special tool but I cannot find any information on this issue. Husky people are not very helpful which will result in me never buying another of their saws. In any event I have removed the clutch cover and determined it is possible to release the steel band but now I cannot get the spring which is used for tension on the chain brake back into the clutch cover. I don't know if this is clear but I cannot find a parts listing to refer to the actual names of the parts. Anyone know how to compress the spring back into place or know what tool is necessary?
