In this video I show how to replace a broken or worn out chain safety brake on your Stihl Chainsaw. It's a very easy and relatively cheap job you can do yourself and save some $$$!
The part number for my saw (* MS-270 *) is: 1133 160 5400. Even though your saw may be a different model, the procedure should be similar for many other saws. Just be sure to check your particular model number either with google or your local Stihl dealer to get the correct parts.
