Any way to reset the brake if it is accidentally engaged?
Yes! You can use the handle to dis-engage the brake again.
If the stiff tension spring pops off how do you put it back on?
Hi Kelly!
You can try to slide the spring into place using a screwdriver.
Set the chain brake in brake mode. Hook the straight end of the tension spring in its groove. Place the flat end of a large flathead screwdriver against the round peg where the curled end of the spring should hook on. Tilt the screwdriver until you can hook the spring onto the screwdriver shank. Carefully straighten the screwdriver to tension the spring, and push the spring off onto the peg.
