There is a retainer on shaft at top of spool you will need to remove and you may have to bend a screwdriver to get it at angle to remove, try and do not destroy. After you remove retainer spool should slip off.
Remove the starter assembly from the engine and pull the cord out--it should have spring resistance to pulling. If nothing, the rewind spring may be broken, or it may have pulled loose from one of the attachment points. Remove the cord from the pull handle and unwind it from the spool if it isn't already pulled out. Remove the spool from the frame to expose the spring--check the ends for breakage and the attachment points for damage (one will be on the under side of the spool). Repair or replace any damaged components and assemble the spring into the attachments. Wind the spool/spring about 2-turns CW, then wedge it to prevent unwinding. Fit the cord back into the spool and wind it CW until the cord has about 8" or so to feed out through the cord port. Fit the cord end back into the handle, tie an overhand knot, and push the knot into the handle bore. Remove the spool wedge and try pulling the cord several times to make sure it goes out and back smoothly. Return the starter to the engine and attempt starting. Hope this helps!
Onve you remove the cover the spool should pull straight out. Be careful, there's a spring under the spool that can fly out and get lost. You need that spring to re-assemble.
There are five ways to change trimmer line depending upon the style of trimmer head on your unit.
The
first style has a locking tab on the side of the trimmer head that must
be depressed while the lock ring is turned counter-clockwise. This will
remove the cover and give access to the spool which can then be pulled
out, rewound with the line (winding in the direction of the arrows on
the spool), and re-installed.
The second style requires lining
up the marks on the bottom of the spool tap/button assembly and firmly
pulling straight out on the tap button. This pulls the spool assembly
out so it can be re-wound and inserted back into the hub assembly.
The
third style requires pushing in and down on the two locking tabs on the
side of the trimmer head. This will remove the cover and give you
access to the spool.
The fourth style of trimmer head is the
Centrex. Remove the cap on the bottom of the head by unscrewing it.
Remove the guide ring and remove the spool from the unit. Cut a 25ft
length of line and insert one end into the center cavity of the empty
spool. Feed the line into the spool, leaving 4-6 inches unwound from
the center of the spool. Reinstall the spool, guide and cap, making
sure the notch in the guide is facing away from the spool and the line
is in the notch.
The fifth style is the fixed line cutting
head. This style cutting head uses a pre-cut piece of cutting line.
After removing the worn line from the cutting head, insert the precut
piece into the positioning tunnel leaving an equal amount out each side
of the tunnel. The ends of the line can then be inserted through the
exit tunnels.
