I had to take apart the chain brake on my Echo CS590 saw the other day. My problem is that I am having no luck putting it back together. I think I have it reassembled properly but the coil spring that kicks the brake is just too tight for the brake handle to move the little trigger lever. Has anyone ran into the same issue? I found a few folks on different sites that mention it, but no solutions posted. Thanks.
