SEARS Craftsman 16" Quick Release Jammed

[Biketrax]

I have a couple of those Sears craftsman 16 inch-- 36 cc chain saws one is bolt locked for the bar/chain. The other is a quick release for the bar and chain slop adjustment. I kinda liked the Quick release mechanism up until the last use the chain came off and now I am stumped at how to take off this quick release without breaking part of the plastic housing. I will try an post a picture. Model:358.360100 Year 2001
Can someone who has the same chain saw PLEASE post a picture of the inside of the mechanism for me please.
thx

Not familiar with these saws but have seen a few saws with a quick adjust mechanism, most of them just screw off. Make sure the chain brake is disengaged by pulling the handle back into it clicks. The chain brake is engaged it will clamp around the clutch drum and prevent the cover from coming off.
