hi CM,
I didn't want to take spindle ou as that would probably wreck it. I cut he knob off as you showed, and there was enough stem to get a narrow vice grip around and the nut came off..... I had another bump knod in the spares box.
The whole problem started when someone put the spring in the wrong place. He put it between the pipe end and the body of the head. Instead of between the body of the head and the line carrier.... Anyway it all fitted back together, BUT the nut at the end of the pipe which fits into the head body was worn roundish.....and slips.
It would be good to replace the nut. It's not a user part , I don't know if it's just a nut or connected to the end shaft...
Got any ideas, have you ever cut one open?
Could mig a few lumps on the nut to get a grip on the plastic head.
At least I have a good motor.... left over
cheers
speedy
