How To Put A Chainsaw Clutch Cover Back On After The Chain Brake Is Engaged 

Two years later, and this video is still saving people. Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed

Hours of pissing around and frustration ended with a four minute video thank you so much for this.

4 years later this video helped a county worker fix a chainsaw. Appreciate the assist.

THANK YOU for publishing this video. You saved me a ton of time as I could not figure out how to get my cover back on. A huge time saver

After fooling around with the clutch cover for over an hour and getting frustrated this video was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Four years later this video is still saving people. Thank you!!!

Dude, this saved me! Had to use some brake parts cleaner and take off the spring cover but saved me a trip to the. Mechanic!

I fought this for two hours, and then found your video. It worked!! Thanks very much for posting, and saving me time, money, and aggravation.

I just recently, had to get a Husqvarna chainsaw to clear vast areas of fallen trees due to the Cyclone storms here in NZ. Due to my inexperience with these awesome machines, I did this mistake while trying to clean & tighten the chainsaw. So! A huge thankyou for your experience & for the very clear & concise description on how to release the brake etc. Looking forwards to learning more from your site.👍

Holy cow, thank you!! 2-3 Hours of frustration and fiddling around… You're a good man.

4 yrs later and still Saving lives! Thanks Man!

Just wasted more than an hour trying to figure this out. Watched your video and problem fixed in less than a minute. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Thank you! Great help, so simple but for those of us who are self taught this is huge wisdom. Ive been fighting with this for hours... Really appreciate your channel.

This is fantastic. Was going to have to find a repairman... now I can take care of the wind-blown trees before winter. Saved me!

Thank you very much for this video. I couldn't get the cover on, so I searched for replacing the chain on a Husqvarna. I watched the manufacturer's video. They said that if you remove the cover with the chain brake forward, you have to take the saw to a dealer. Thankfully, I found your video. Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for this video!! I just bought a new Rancher 460 and wanted to replace the stock chain from the start. This is my first Husqvarna. I misread the directions, thinking I needed to have the brake engaged instead of disengaged. I saw another video that said a dealer would have to fix it, but you solved my problem in 2 minutes.

Thank you so much for this video. I have been working with chainsaws on the fire ground for years and never had this problem. That is until today when I was getting ready to process my wood pile for the winter. This video saved me time and money!

Many thanks. Spent forever yesterday trying to decipher online forum advice and hammering away. Watched this and it really was as easy as you make it look. Back in the game! ✊

I'm just one of many who had their weekend saved by your video - thank you!! Noted that the hex spanner that came with my chainsaw had cutouts on one side to turn that easily.

This video saved me a ton of time/cost - I will send you LOVE$. Video is very well done. Concise-well organized-video/audio quality and content are superb

THANK YOU. I was incredibly frustrated until I saw this video. Worked like a charm.

Thx a lot for this. tried for almost an hour to figure out what i was doing wrong until i saw this. saved this amateur a lot of frustration and time

Thank you for making this video! A few swear words and a lot of frustration before looking this video up :) Imagine 10-20 years ago figuring things out, my dad had cabinets filled with books and manuals, today its on RU-vid! Thank you again!

TOTALLY fixed my issue! Great fix for a mistake I won’t make again. Thanks for posting this, definitely saved me a headache!

You star... thank you so much for taking some of your valuable time and putting this video together. If your initial aim was to help people with little knowledge of saws... well you've certainly achieved the objective... this has been a massive, massive help. Kind regards from Pete in the English Lake District

Just spent 2 hours trying to refit the cover on my 445. Found this. Took 2 minutes! Thanks from England!

Thank you so much for this video!!! I was about to order another clutch plate cover for my 445e but this saved the day!!

Thanks man, this'll help. Wish I watched this initially before trying again and again.... And again. Was getting wet from rain and super frustrated. Life saver. 👍

Four years later and still helping. Thank you

Great tip! Ultimately, we had to remove the bar and chain before we were able to engage the fins of the safety handle. It worked!

👍 I've taken my chain apart 50 + times, never had this problem, and then I did, I was looking up places near me to take it to, and then I said to myself, you tube, sure enough, I still feel stupid, but thankfully it's only the thousands of people that view this video that know I'm stupid, instead of a local repair shop😉 Thank you Sir Excellent video, easy to understand..thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

Thank you this saved me money , time and aggravation. I was going to take it into the shop after mistakenly removing the clutch cover with the brake engaged. Very good content my friend keep it up 👍👍 Also you got a sub from me.

RU-vid to the rescue as usual. Such a specific problem but you made it clear and look easy. Thanks so much!

YOU ROCK!!!! This helped me so much. I had no idea what I was going to do till I watched this video. Thank you

Such a simple thing to miss, but glad I'm not the only one! ;-) Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video and help us all out. Cheers, mate!

Superb!!!!been struggling for weeks..kept going back to it..thanks chief 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for this video. Explained exactly what I needed to do to fix my situation 😄

I’ve been using a chainsaw for years, but never encountered this problem before. I could see what the problem was, but didn’t know how to get the little brake lever back in the other position. I was afraid I might break it. This solution came to mind, but that was when I went looking for help, which confirmed my understanding. 2 minutes later I was back in business!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Husqvarna has been such a pain to get anything repaired. You just saved me so much time and head ache

Thank you! I diagnosed the problem with getting the cover on, but this little trick solved my problem and took 2 secs!

Add another intermediate chainsaw user not knowing this and pulling what is left of my hair out, thank you so much for the assist! I cannot believe I didn't think of this.👏

Struggling with my 242 and You saved my day. Thanks so much!

I just bought mine 7 days ago and this just saved me!! Thanks again bud!

Man oh man…this video saved me lots of time and energy. I thought the clutch cover was broken but nope! Thanks man!

Cannot thank you enough. You should have a button for small donations along with this video. This is the best hack I learnt from YT.

Thank you, sir. I have a husqvarna 576xp chainsaw. I removed the clutch drum, and I couldn't get it back on, because my chain break was engaged. Thanks for helping people like me solve this problem.

Literally exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much

I'm a moron changing my bar and chain and you saved my weekend. Thanks bro!

I should have watched this video 45 minutes ago. After watching this video, problem solved in 30 seconds. Thanks!

Perfect vid. Echoing other comments, brilliant. Was struggling for hours. But solution was so easy.

4 years and still saving people. thanks

Thank you, Thank you!! I could not figure this out and was ready to take it in for repair. Your video showed how to re-set it.

Thanks so much! I was having trouble getting the cover back on my Johnsonred CS2245 and this video really helped!

I was getting frustrated trying to put the darn cover and it wouldn't for the life of me. Figured I'd RU-vid it and here we are. Now it works...thx, you saved me some money lol.

Thank you for saving me a trio to the hardware store for a repair. You made that look so easy.

Yes yes yes!!! Thanks man. 2am and trying to figure this out for 2 hours. This worked :)

Thanks man, I spent a few minutes trying to figure out on my own, and even trying that (the second method) but I didn't want to break it. Everything went back to normal. Thanks again

Excellent video. You just saved me a trip to the repair store. Thank you!

Incredible! I literally was ready to trade mine off thinking it was broken. Thanks so much!! Worked exactly as you explained.

Thank you for posting this! I had to go as far as taking off the chain brake handle so that I could get a firm grip on the chain break propeller but it worked!

Thank you thank you thank you! One hour of frustration before watching your video. 10s fix. Awesome.
