Genuine OEM replacement part, this item is sold individually.
The 791-181459 Spring is installed in the 753-04257 slider.
When not activated this part will keep the cutting line from coming out of the spool.
When the Bump Head Knob Assembly is hit on the ground the springs and slider will be forced up into the spool housing releasing the correct amount of cutting line.
Most of the trimmers will use two of these springs.
