    Question:
    I have a Husqvarna model 51 chainsaw, I cannot get the kick back brake to release by pulling the handle back to re-*** it. I'm afraid I might break something if I force it. Most other times I could pull the handle back, and I would hear a click and it would reset. any suggestions? The brake stays on and the chair will not turn.

      May need to replace the chain brake assembly due to wear.

        Thank you, I went ahead and strong armed it, don't you know it clicked right in. used the saw all day no problem.
