you should be able to release it with a flat screwdriver. you should see something that looks like a wheel where the chain brake locks to the brake handle when you put the cover back on. you should be able to twist that wheel and unlock it that way.
Go to http://www.milacalawn.com/parts.asp and look for the bolt that hold the brake.usually the bolt is located in the chain plate that has a large groove in order to adjust the chain.
It sounds as though you have tried resetting the brake to no avail. If I were you any Monday through Friday at 1300 - 1500 I would be in my local Husky dealer (not Lowes). Someone familiar with the saw that can see and touch it. I suspect you will need parts once the problem is isolated, order them there and the diagnosis will probably be gratis. Factor in the shipping and handling fee and most dealer prices are competitive.
If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Good Luck. HTH Lou Thank You for using FixYa.
It sounds like the chain is too tight. Loosen up the tension on the chain by turning the tensioning screw located on the end of the saw where the bar goes out.

See Detail A, pn 503 89 08-02. You can use a Crescent Wrench on one of the ears (left end) to reset it. With the cover positioned with pn 503 89 08-02 in the upper left rotate it CW until it nests, to reset it.
This works quite well: Reset Chain Brake by Dolfoff Please follow this link, http://www.fixya.com/support/t3102817-re_install_side_cover_after_chain Cursor down to “Best Solution”, while there click the “Was this helpful? [Yes]” button If you do not have a vise a large C clamp to a work surface might work, you may still need a block or two of wood.
You can download the IPL for you saw here: HusqvarnaUSA.com http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/ Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers) Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals 06 1500198 06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000) 15 = week produced - March 00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
I will wager you will NEVER again remove the cover with the brake set. Me either! Good Luck. HTH Lou
hi , by what your describing i think the chain brake has came on , you will have to reset this , its a good idea to carefully hold it in a vice and try to manually reset it
It depends on the chain you have installed on the chainsaw. You can look at the numbers stamped on the drive link side of the cutting chain and it should have a 2 digit number that correlates to the size.
The factory chain supplied with the #455 rancher was a .325" pitch 3/8" chain.
Here's a link to the specs for your saw with some useful info
