How do I change the chain and guide bar on my McCullough chain saw?

The saw is loose around the chain. I bought a new replacement chain and guide bar, but I cannot get the old chain off. Every screw loosened still does not separate the parts. any help?

I may be missing the point here cos usually they fall apart when you take out the right screws ....

1) Remove the clutch cover (may require removing chain brake handle), thus exposing the clutch (with chain going round it).

2) Slacken chain tensioner all the way off.

3) Disengage chain from guide bar and remove bar.

4) Manoever chain out from behind clutch and remove.
