Replacing the bump head knob on a Ryobi trimmer The Facts

Trimmer out of whack? It's time to face the fix. Whether you are a legendary landscaper or a weekend weed whacker, eReplacementParts.com provides the parts, procedures and facts you need to fearlessly fix what fails you.

The bump head knob assembly serves two main purposes on your trimmer. First, it contains the nut that allows you to secure the spool to the trimmer head. Second, it is the part you "bump" against the ground to allow more line to extend out from the trimmer head.

Because it is in constant contact with the ground, the bump head knob will eventually wear out. Replacing it is very easy to do.

This article provides step-by-step instructions for removing and installing the bump head knob assembly on a Ryobi trimmer.
