Never seen long noise and rounded noise pliers, all my pliers have noses:001_tt2:

Ah,  yes, let me explain - they are the special ones that go ' SNAP' as they slip off the really stiff chain brake springs :001_rolleyes:

 

 

..... damned auto correct. .....   :angry:

Easy, quick job - assuming the springs are just weak, and no subsequent damage to fix broken pieces. There are different spring arrangements from different manufacturers - for the MS260 there are 3 little springs holding the 3 weights together. It'll be quite obvious once you've taken the clutch drum off, so, chain cover off,  bar and chain off, ping the circlip off the crank, remove washer and clutch drum and the bearing. Don't lose that circlip.

Remove and replace each spring in turn,  you do need to do all three. Long noise pliers or even better rounded noise pliers to avoid scratching the spring ... but they are pretty tough little beggars so just go for it. 

HTH.

Thanks bmp ??
