Hello,
This is from an old husky 41. During initial cleaning I set the brake off of the clutch drum and recently found that it won't release. Appears to be jammed. To dig the hole a little deeper I began disassembly only to find that I cant remove the brake lever because the main pivot bolt just spins on the back side with no way to secure it. Time to get out the Dremel and put a slot in the pivot nut?
According to the repair manual you should be able to set the brake off the saw to release the spring tension so that the main spring can be removed or installed. This doesn't appear to be true anymore (or with this particular cover).
Thanks,
Steve
