Braided flexible upper shaft broke. Engine runs normally, but trimmer head does not spin.
Disconnect motor head at shaft and at joint 20 or so inches down. Order the Upper Drive Shaft and Housing Assembly. Both ends fit in only one way. Change the handle from one shaft to the other. Piece of cake!!!

The air filter assembly did not come with decals for operations and throttle locations. Had to reuse the existing.
All parts were replacement parts and went together easily. I ordered the upper Drive Shaft Assembly and also ordered a new Air Filter Assembly. My only problem was having to remove the existing decals and use double-sided to reattach them to the Filter Assembly.

    I ordered a drive shaft for my Ryobi grass trimmer. The installation was relatively easy and I saved money by not having to buy a new trimmer.
