The cover doesn't have to be on to pull it. I'm not familiar with that model husky, but on all 3 of mine, the lever comes with the cover. If it doesn't, there is usually some sort of metal tab sticking up that you can put some pliers and snap it back.

I believe that saw has Huskys newer chain brake setup with the 3 fingered brake lever and the entire brake assembly in the clutch cover.

They are a pain to release if they're removed in the locked position. Try removing the chain brake lever and using it to release the chain brake. If that doesn't work, you'll need two people, patience and a pair of vise grips to release it.
