MS260 Brake

For a while now my MS260 chain break has been too difficult to engage for my liking. I took the break band off and gave it a good cleaning but that didn't help any. I've had it in to the local specialist for a service and asked them to check out the brake for being over stiff and it came back just the same. The problem seems to be worse when the saw has been cutting for a little while and heated up. Compared to other saws it is much harder to apply the brake and it gets to the point where it hurts the back of my wrist so I'm not using it. Anyone had a similar problem?

Yes, did have similar thing on ms260, can't remember if it got worse when the saw was warmer or not. I replaced the thing the spring connects to (not the brake band), if I remember right it looks a bit like a piece of bicycle chain and all was well again.
