Also, instead of holding the saw and turning the brake with the needle
nose jaws, I think I've had clamped the needlenose in the vice with
the jaws slightly open and used both hands on the saw to twist the
brake back locked.
Well, I chipped off the edge of the cast aluminum, trying to wedge
lever the spring into the unlocked position.
I think I'll hold tight, as I left the rest of the saw at my
neighbor's house.
I'm gonna try to see if I can temporarily assemble the brake on
top of the saw, and use the saw's own lever, to unlock it.
That seems safest, but, I won't go back to that neighbor 'till
tomorrow. Luckily, no trees need felling today ...
