Now the fun part.You have to re-install the spring and at the same time re-install the retaining pin.I was able to do it by myself, but I strongly recommend the help of another person. Finally cut the zip tie and remove the pieces and you are done.

Many parts were damaged or missing due to over 10 years of professional use.
Replaced the power cord and the work light. Replaced the pin that holds the saw in the closed position. Also replaced a few other misc parts. The light, power cord and pin were the biggest reasons I needed to repair just due to safety and ease of use. The pin was the hardest part to replace because I had to remove the large pivot pin
... Read morethat the entire saw hinges on by tapping it out with a mallet and a 1/2\" socket extension. The spring that holds the saw in the up position comes out when the hinge pin is removed making it extremely difficult to put everything back together. I realized after the fact that there are holes just below the spring that you can insert a screw driver or Allen wrench or similar object which holds the spring in the closed position. I still haven\'t figured out if there is an easier way to replace the spring itself since you obviously can\'t hold it in the closed position if you are trying to replace it, but my spring is fine and I don\'t have to worry about that now. There were no websites or videos that I could find to show how this is done, but I figured it out. Would have been easier if there was something that explained the holes for holding the spring before I took it all apart and the spring ejected the saw arm.
Removed main pivot bolt, drove out bushing with drive pin to match size, removed saw from cutting deck, removed broken pin, installed new pin with rubber o-ring that was not included had to buy that at a hardware store, positioned saw to deck by compressing spring and lining up bores, drove bushing back in and reinstalled main pivot bolt
