remove the 2 nuts holding the sawdust strut/sidecover and remove side cover. remove chain and bar. clean the chain slot and oil holes on bar. install new chain over bar and place remainder of chain over chain sprocket.back off chain tightener until chain and bar fit. reinstall side cover.
You may possibly be using the wrong chain. The pitch on the chain has to match the pitch on the sprocket. Also check that the slide slot in the bar is cleaned out.
The factory do not offer a rim sprocket for the 455/460, they are classed as semi pro saws and as such get a spur sprocket, there may be an Oregon after market one available.
You take the chain cover off of the bar. It is two nuts. Take them off and the cover will come off. Slide the bar toward you and the chain will become slack. You can then slide off the chain from the sprocket. To put a new one on. You will need to turn the chain adjustment back all the way to the left. Then put the chain back over the sprocket, then onto the bar. Put the chain cover back on and tighten the chain back up. Then tighten the two nuts back to tight.
Go to http://www.milacalawn.com/parts.asp and look for the bolt that hold the brake.usually the bolt is located in the chain plate that has a large groove in order to adjust the chain.
It depends on the chain you have installed on the chainsaw. You can look at the numbers stamped on the drive link side of the cutting chain and it should have a 2 digit number that correlates to the size.
The factory chain supplied with the #455 rancher was a .325" pitch 3/8" chain.
