Trimmer head eyelet fell out and lost. Trimmer line would cut after a very short time without the eyelet

, None. All by hand
I simply removed the old head and installed the new one. Wound in a fresh length of trimmer line.
I didn't need a retaining cap, but ordered one anyway. The old one was starting to wear and the tiny steel cover for the nut was also missing making it easy to lose the nut. I installed the new retaining cap and I was good to go
Parts came very quickly and were very affordable. The shipping was also very reasonable. Very happy with this project, the outcome and this company

Simply removed old assembly and replaced with new part and screwed it on by hand. eReplacementParts has kept my Ryobi trimmer running for over ten years now. Thank you. I'm going to go use it right now.
