My pm 700 does not have a bolt. It has a screw and a washer . It’s as if the handle is pressed on .

You make it look easy

Thanks Morgan, from down under in Australia. I've got a ProMac 610 and a 650, almost identical saws. Your video made me think outside the square. I had it all wrong on my first Mac saw (650) and was looking at was looking at the 610 (recently acquired) but not wanting to pull that one apart in fear of mucking that one up too. Now I feel confident to tackle the job if it ever needs doing again. I love those old Mac saws.

cant see a thing of what your doing ?

Thanks much I needed that

Second time this video has saved me.

Thanks, I broke off the brake and it all came apart, so I did not have an initial reference point. found the parts, and thanks to this video I felt comfortable that I reassembled it right.

Thank you,thank you,thank you for posting this video. I spent over four hours trying to get this done on my chainsaw then I turned to You Tube and saw your great video. Got it done the first time after I took off the chain break handle and got the bracket in the right position to lever it on the spring. Good job.

I’m rebuilding one of these, your video helped me big time. Thanks a ton

If you pull the cover off, you can push the clutch chain brake out more, and it slips on much easier than what you are doing.

Yes, thank you for the awesome video, still giving life to old McCullock Chain saws during 2020! Just got an old break assembly, and this helps a lot getting the replacement on!

Fantastic video, I've been fighting with a Pro Mac 610 for long enough that I put it under the bench and left it there. Within 30 minutes of watching this it was back together. Thanks very much!

Thanks for the tips. It’s such a pain to get on I hope I get better at it.

Thank you! Just took apart a timber bear to clean and I've been trying to figure it out how the brake went back together.

hi i have been waiting for someone to show me ,how to do that. thank you from england i have pro 555 runs lovely but could not use it without breake

Hey, I've got a question about chain breaks, I have a Mcculloch Timber Bear (I think it's timber bear) and the chain break moves when it's running and being used. I bought it used, the only issue it has is the chain break sliding or slipping.

It’s a mcculloch 7-10 came from factory with a different side on it (without a chain break) but you can take one that has a chain break and the sides swap over perfect. Most of the chain breaks don’t have that bolt in it like this one has but they still go together the same way and I do believe on some I have found a copper spacer in between the chainbreak handle and housing.

Awesome video helped me out a lot.was there anything that in between the brake lever ?like a bushing or anything?i uave a gap

What saw was that

Finally, a video that shows how to do this. I have been looking for a year now. Well explained.

Thank You! This video helped me but I still had to walk away.I will try again tomorrow.
