Question:
455 Rancher: Can't get the brake ring over the clutch assy when reinstalling the clutch cover, so obviously I messed up the brake when I took it apart. How can I reset the brake ring to the larger "free chain movement" position to get things reassembled?
Answer
Glenn,
Here is answer army link to a previously posted question:

Also, you may find it easier to place the chainsaw on its side when you do this, that way the clutch cover can be placed flat down on top of the bar bolts. Do not worry about the back end of the clutch cover, just focus on holding the front part of the clutch cover, and holding it snug against the brake handle engagement. With it held in place operate the brake handle and this should reset your brake band.
Remember, whenever removing the clutch cover to "always" make sure the brake is disengaged or in the reset position.
I hope this helps
