A good replacement part
No camplaints about the part but replacing it was difficult. Describing how to do it would be inadequate. There should be a video. All I can say is DON'T LET THE SPRING UNWIND!

More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers
1. Removed outer cover
2. Pulled out drum starter (big mistake)
3. Spring shot out
4. did not know drum started was connected to spring
5. Took a long time to rewind spring by hand
6. Made sure rope was tight
7. Reassembled
First time doing this, wish I knew what I know now.
It took 4 hours to figure out because I did not know how to rewind the spring and I did not get the rope tight enough.
Finally figured it out.
