Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Disassemble the engine brake (allows the operator to slow or stop the engine) in order to replace the return spring, bolts, brackets, or cable.
What you need
Tools

-
Remove the return spring by using needle nose pliers, a screwdriver, or other device. I removed the spring by the end of the front bracket (away from the mower handle). Lift up and away from the bracket, and the spring should come out.
-
Remove the two bolts using a 7/16 socket.
