This is an original part from Husqvarna. The metal chain catcher is compatible with many chainsaw devices. This component is fastened onto the felling dog and the crankcase, helping to steady the saw blade for safe cutting. You may require a wrench and screwdriver when replacing this part. This item is sold individually.
1. Remove chain and bar( for easy maneuverability), empty gas in tank, then top cover, followed by handle and throttle grip. The throttle has to be disconnected from carb, and you have to spin the linkage to remove because it does not come straight out.
2. You can choose to remove carb, I was able to do repair without removing, prob
... Read moreably more difficult, but might have saved a little time. I removed return line and fuel lines and prime bulb from saw, followed by grommets. To remove fuel line you have to open gas tank and pull out filter and fuel line with your 90 degree pick. Remove filter and hose, replace with new.
3. When I replaced grommets and hose, I put a little oil on them to make things go on a little easier. I found it is easier to install grommets on hose first and then install grommets on saw. You can always push and pull hose through.
4. Once all hoses are on and secure, reinstall your filter on line and replace inside tank. I cut about two inches off the tank line before installing filter, just because it seemed a little long, your choice. I only had one line that was bad, but I figured while I was replacing one, might as well do them all, the others are probably going to fail soon.
5. In order to replace exhaust screen, you will have to remove chain break handle, two hex head bolts, slide screen out, slide new one in and done.
6. Once installed, I reassembled everything in the reverse order it come out. Chain brake handle, main handle then throttle cover, remember to install throttle linkage, you have to spin it to get back next to the carb, this can be a little tedious, but make sure it is where it needs to go before bolting main handle on, or you have to take it apart again(my mistake).
7. After throttle cover, replace your top cover, and chain and bar, add gas and your good to go.
Removed the old parts and installed the new parts. Very easy job to complete.
The hardest part was putting the spring in place. To compress the spring , I used a medium sized flat screw driver and placed it in the end of the spring so it screw driver went part way in the spring and the wider part was able to push on the spring and w

Ran over a Husqvarna 455 chain saw with a Case-IH 485 tactor (the tractor won).
Removed the broken parts and replaced them with new ones. Not rocket science, but keep track of where all the bolts go. Might take a few photos as you disassemble, and keep small parts together. Nice to have the saw back in operation. Highly recommend eReplacementParts as a source. Easy to navigate the web site, reliable service.
Remove the cover that hold bar and chain on take the fasteners that hold on chain brake handle on each side of housing. Reverse process to assemble. Clutch drum use clutch removal tool take off clutch and remove hub then reverse process to assemble
