Thanks so much for this. I couldn't work out why I couldn't replace the sidecover on my 435 after cleaning but realised it was because of the brake being on. Seeing this viseo showed me how to release the brake. It saved me a lot of heartache.... thanks a lot.

I watched this video a couple of days too late. I didn’t need to replace my Husqvarna 440’s brake band, but rather the plastic brake cover and triangular wear protection piece. In ignorant bliss, I removed the screws with the brake un-engaged. While I felt the spring tension while removing the screws, I was ill-prepared for the impressive (and dangerous) 40-foot rocket launch of the spring well into my front yard. I now know how to perform this simple task properly and safely. Great Video!

After a bar-fry issue, performend the same thing. Tore into the break to try and figure out how to unlock it. Wouldn't turn. Disassembled for cleaning. After 40 minutes of fiddling, I couldn't get the spring back in my little HV 120. Now that I know it's "the only way" will try it against the wall in the morning.

[@DPdOxJr62]

Thanks for this great and informative video. It saved me the frustration of not being able able to continue my work, a drive to the repair shop and some money. In short, you made my day!

[@FIXTechGuides]

You're welcome!

[@whataguy7032]

This video showed me how to release the break band. Saved me a trip to the repair shop.

[@jbrown4371]

Thank you. I couldn't get my cover back on because of the brake. I didn't know about releasing it the way you did. You saved me so much time and aggravation. What a great video!

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Worked the first time, why didn't I think to slide the cover against something that didn't move? But once I saw it, no problem. Thank you for a great video.

[@birchwoodracing]

Brilliant video thanks for posting. This has haved me a lot of time and money and helped me to replaced the brake band on my Husqvarna 440

[@user-fl8ft7yv8y]

Very clear and concise. Thank you great tutorial

[@FIXTechGuides]

You're very welcome!

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

Excellent video-thank you so much. I had issues and my local husky dealer told me it was the ratcheting cam bit... I ordered then started looking and my spring was broken lol. Got all the parts last week and now needed to put it together without losing an eye-thanks for the SIMPLE and clear instructions!

[@user-nw7gy9vn5c]

Great video had it back up and running in 20 minutes

[@AlexSmith-vb8lq]

Amazing to me that you can push that spring on first time with no trouble! Great vid tho thanks

[@chrisalister2297]

Just amazing the amount of force on that spring.

[@Backstabbio]

Damn, been struggling with the damn spring forever, nice tip, too easy

[@ScottAnthonyRoss]

Fantastic video. Thank you for making it. Easily replaced the brake band on my 450.

[@ThisIsCocio]

Very helpful. Just changed the brake band for my 550 XPG in no time.

[@Ecksterphono]

Great video. And that's also the upgraded part. Husqvarna like the 455 and others had a recall on the band from 2015-19. Issue was that the band would split or stretch or snap because of a inferior material issue and also it was too narrow. Also on the clutch housing where the break engages if there is anodized blue that also meant the band was too thin. The video luckily has the upgraded brake band part number. Beware of Ebay buys or Amazon buys. If the part number is missing the first 2 digits then you have the defective band before the upgrade came out to replace the recalls. Sometime in April of 2019 ,they did the upgrade.

[@bobspatafore1696]

Thanks dude.

[@kenneththompson452]

Great primer; easy to follow. Helped me save a ton of money and time!

[@M5tworude]

Thank you

[@bullfrogpondshop3179]

My brake keeps engaging when I try to cut. I have to hold it back (disengaged) to cut. Is this caused by too weak or too strong spring? I have an older 288XP Lite. Thanks!

[@paulmorrey733]

Thanks

[@joannebaillargeon4977]

Very good video

[@laxman9145]

sharpex chain saw chain break problem please explain solution from india

[@scottplooster1315]

In this video was his band actually broken?

[@gedd4996]

I ordered a new brake band and everything seemed to fit except when I ran the chainsaw it seemed to lock up like the brake was being engaged. Everything seems to fit only one way. Any chance that I got the wrong brake band for the 455 Rancher?

[@paulblackburn931]

I have a chainsaw that the kick back handle is not installed. How can I install it back on chain saw. It's a Husqvarna 141. 1999 year.

[@paulblackburn931]

Do you have a how to for that?
