I was about 20 mins into using my new chainsaw, and the whole thing came apart, I re assembled it, but the brake doesn't seem to want to sit on the drum properly, even though I double checked and the brake is not engaged, and it seems that when I finally get it to sit on there properly the chain wont spin by hand freely, even when I loosen the bar.. im assuming that when it fell apart all there should have been was the cover bar chain and the nut to put cover on.. did I loose something else?
That should be all that was there. If it's a fairly new saw, it could just fit tight. Not that I recommend this, but leave the nuts 1/2 loose. I had to get my chain moving using a pair of welding gloves and pulling it around the bar. The whole thing seated properly & I finished tightening it up. the brake fits tight but you don't want to lubricate it or it won't function properly when you need it. Also be sure the brake ISN'T engaged when you reassemble and when you're finished. Hope this helps.

You will need to release the brake by applying a very heavy screwdriver to the + shaped part of the brake coupling. Check the action of the brake handle and duplicate it at the the +. Hope this helps!

Go to Searspartsdirect.com and enter the complete Sears model number minus the decimal point. That should bring you to a series of replaceable parts diagrams plus part numbers. If the bolt is not listed as a separate part, then likely it is part of the fuel tank assembly. Hope this helps!

Put a lock washer on it to stop it from backing off.

You need to load the brake, this is not so easy now it is off the saw, however, there are a few ways to do it, clamp the cover in a vice, be carefull not to damage the cover, now use a suitable spanner to engage into the the three legged actuating ( where the hand guard normally sits ) and twist, it will take some force as you are compressing the inner spring, or you cane remove the hand guard from the saw and use this as a tool to load it, or you can remove the sprocket and clutch, the brake will then sit back onto the saw and can be loaded.

actually i took bar and schain off and tried to re asseble it, the cover doesnt want to sit on there properly, it basically gives me the option to have it sit over the drum properly or lock the + into to brake handle @ the top, one or the other..
