The parts are exact fit as original
After removing the old broken parts and replacing them with the new parts the trimmer is working just like it did on day one. Saved a lot of money fixing it rather that getting a whole new trimmer.

Difficulty
Medium
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Dry lube
Remove bump knob, removed string spool, remove E clip on shaft, remove plunger & spring.
Then remove C clip, pull out slider & 2 slider springs below it. Thoroughly clean the body of the trimmer head.
after thoroughly cleaning, spray a little dry lube on the spring & slider grooves inside the head, Install slider springs, install slider (Making sure the spring tabs on slider are over the top of the slider springs), while holding slider & springs in, attach the C clip to shaft that holds the slider in place, but lets it freely slide. Then install plunger spring & plunger. Hold plunger down while attaching the E clip onto the shaft. push plunger & watch slider move to one side, then back when plunger comes back up. Basically, verify operation. If all is good, Install spool & bump knob. Then install trimmer line as normal... Enjoy your newly repaired bump feed head that only takes a slight "bump" to feed more line! :)

Removed all parts, ordered, received parts in a USA address to minimize costs. A friend was able to bring them back to Canada. With the exploded view of the component, a bit difficult part was to install the e-clip. That said, straightforward repair

When I took the head of the string trimmer apart, I realized the slider was bent and a small spring was missing. I had to destroy the e-clip to get it off and out of the way for the slider, so I just made sure I bought one with the order. Once I got the e-clip off, everything went into place just as the diagram shows. String trimmer runs like new. I am stoked that I was able to find these part for replacement.
