I just got me a new weedeater, a Homelite and it has a head just like that. And that is how I check the string by removing the head. And I will try pushing it to unlock it. Nice tip!

First time electric trimmer user of course I pull the head. Getting this thing back on is the most absolutely frustrating task

I didn't need to shave it down. A squirt of WD40 on the 2 sets of indentations and it moves like butter. Great video, thanks!

What if the line breaks on one side and you have to take it apart to get it out?

I used WD40 to aid in the twist step. It did make it easier. Thanks for your guidance.

How do we take off the whole assembly head?

Thank you so much. I almost got frustrated and threw my machine out. But I was able to put it back together in one piece after your video.

My string went inside the head...to get at it, I had to take the head apart...now I can't get it back together to work. I get it together but the handle cannot crank the string...it will not turn.

I believe this is compatible with the universal Echo speed feed 400 head. If I get this trimmer, I'll probably look into replacing the head. The speed feed makes life much easier.

Mine is new and it is ridiculous how hard it is to turn. I am going to have to return mine. Never getting ryobi again

I bought mine about a year ago and had problems pushing and twisting the head to unlock it. Took it to Home Depot and they had trouble so they gave me a new one. Still had trouble even after using WD-40 on it. Finally got it off so I could clear the tangled line inside it. Should be a lot easier to remove.

Use a flat heat on the top casing attached to the handle when turning clockwise, this should help with leverage

Can you reload the string by wacking it on the ground? (While there's still available string in the spool)

Does anyone know if you can replace the auto feed head on a 40volt Ryobi trimmer with a bump feed head?

Got one for Christmas and went to use it for the first time today.

For the life of me I just cannot get the head off to open up and undo tangles. I tried before using it just to see how hard it was. Couldn’t open it. So used it for 5 minutes and had an inside tangle. It took my wife tapping in it with a screwdriver/hammer to get it out of the locked position. Now I can’t get this stupid thing back on. It shouldn’t be this difficult. And yes, I’m pushing and turning. Why would it be this difficult?
