Touch of oil on the shaft too slides like butter but that’s just me being a diva

Thank you!

Thanks for top tip. It ended my frustration.

🎉❤

Your video really helped! Thank you so much. I’m not sure where you got that tool that you used to reset the brake, but I used an Allen wrench to takeoff the brake handle and then used the part of the brake handle that goes into that break to turn and reset the break. It wasn’t as easy as your tool but it seems to work fine. I think you have to be careful about pushing it into far because there’s one plastic piece that stops it when you rotate it if you push it in too far. Thanks again!

Appreciate this 👊

Thank you so much work on it until my hand hurt then i decided to check online

Ten years later an still a life saver, read all the comments and needless to add my different fails, then I found this , wow Thank You, BTW your fix was used on a Poulan P3314

THAT is good stuff! Thank you for sharing!

Great video

Who would have ever thought, oh maybe Craftsman part number P2- 46947

Thanks.

I love you. I just wasted an hour and the solution was so simple

I was out there, screaming and cursing and trying to make it work. The damn scrench has that cut-out in it now. I had no idea what it was for until I found your video. Lifesaver.

OMG thank you for this video, I just disassembled my break for my chainsaw and been struggling to reassemble it, till I found your video ✅💯💞🤩 Again Thank you.

Thanks for the video made a wrench just like yours worked great

Wow. A whole-hearted thank you to you sir for this video!

Thank you for your help . Your video is very helpful. Greetings from Poland.

The spring is two strong cut some off . The chin brake Still work

Good luck.

And the chainsaw brake works great. And stops the chain .

I used a bolt cutter to cut the spring . Works great 😊

The reason there is a problem in the first place the spring is to strong . I fixed mine cut some off the spring . It’s to strong for the plastic . Handel now it works great.

Dude you are AWESOME!! You have just saved me some wear and tare and kept me from sinning!! Thanks again!

Thanks for the video! Had it back together in no time. Once daylight rolls around, i’ll be firing up the cutoff wheel to make the “reset tool” you’ve fabricated. Neighbors would lose their sh*t if I were to start converting mine right now...😂 Thanks again for the video! ❤️👍

Same-Same....Lifesaver

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

You help me a lot! Thank you!

Amazing you helped us out so much

Thank you! I wish I had watched this video two hours ago.

Watched this video, then I tried it out very easy to do just take your time, thank you so much for this video 10/10👍

Thanks man, you're a life saver. I was about to start brute-forcing it.

Thank You for sharing! I was trying all sorts of clamps with no success 🤦🏼‍♂️ I was able to cut up an old shower stem removal tool and it worked perfectly 🙏🏼

Like virtually all who posted comments, please accept my confession to have “unsuccessfully” screwed around with large pair of channel-locks, then searched online tor 3 min, watched your video for 3 min and had saw running less than 5min later ! Kudos for wrench modification tip as well !! Much appreciation incl thumbs- up and subscription to boost your audience. Thanks and Best of Success

Great video, thankyou.

Dude, you rock. I made the same tool that you have and got my chainsaw up and running. Thank you

Pretty neat tool hack with the scrench. I usually get away with holding it against the saw and using the chain brake handle, then install bar and chain. Might make one for fun. Screwdriver trick is neat as well, I'd never hold the cover in a position where I could stab my hand if it slipped though. I do mine clamped in a machinist vice wrapped in a rag with an old hydraulic fitting

Thank you. U the man.

The only downfall I see is that you didn't make mention that the wrench you used to set the chain brake was either a special wrench or an altered scrench.

Thank u

You just saved me a trip to the shop. Merry Xmas from Canada 🍻

Thanks for this video

Thank you so much!

Two thumbs up for a great video. I often give bad reviews/comments on videos because most waste time on verbal diarrhea. Great job giving all the necessary information on getting the spring back and setting the brake.

Cheers mate ya just saved me ! Been messi g round with that for few hours the other day , lost work then but im ready go tomorrow thaks to you nd my new spnerratchit whats it . ❤ frm Australia

Thank you sir!

I love you ❤ you Made my day 🎉

Thank you, Sir - it was fixed in a minute after spending hours and getting fingers snapped by the spring popping out. I used a needle nose pliers to push the spring in - it was easier to remove once the spring caught the edge of the cover than the screwdrivers I have. The saw is ready to go, just in time for my Fall yard clean up. Again, thanks much!

The hand that's holding down the part is downhill from the point of your flathead. If you slip then you'll be pulling a flathead out of your hand. Take a small piece of scrap wood and put it on each side of the spring to hold it down. Then put a c clamp on it or something. NEVER push a tool towards your other hand.

If you don’t have the special wrench to disengage brake all you have to do is take off the two Allen screws to take the brake handle off. Use it as your tool, it works fine
