How to Remove a Stihl Chain Brake
- 1). Turn the Stihl chainsaw off and let the engine cool down. Brush away any wood chips or debris from the brake screws.
- 2). Insert the Stihl tool into the hex screws at the brake sides. Turn the tool counterclockwise to remove each hex screw from the brake chain's connection. Remove the screws from the housing and set them aside.
- 3). Pull one end of the brake off the housing and then pull the other side off. Place the brake with the screws for storage until you are ready to attach the brake after any repairs or cleanings.
