Motor Housing Assembly 90615074

I removed screw holding cutting shield and removed shield. Removed screws holding two halves of housing together. Removed one half of the housing to see how the motor and drive gear fit into the housing. Remove clamp holding power/control wire in place. Pay attention to the spring for the button that allows the rotation of the head on the shaft located where attaches to the housing before removing the second half of the housing. Reverse these steps to assemble

Remove the screws from the motor housing assembly and separate housing and remove guard. Remove worn gear and spindle. Install new spindle and gear. Assemble motor housing and guard in reverse order.

1. Removed the plastic shield with a screwdriver and pressed on the latch holding it in.
2. Removed the 8 other screws on the housing
3. Disconnected the internal power cord by unscrewing two screws
4. Put the motor and other parts inside the new plastic housing
5. Attached the power wire connection on to the new housing with the 2 screws
6. Put together the 2 sides of the housing
7. Using the 8 screws I screwed the 2 sides of the housing together
8. Attached the plastic shield, snapped it in place
9. Put in the last screw that holds the shield in place.

Removed old motor housing and stripped gear. Replaced with new housing and gear. Everything fit like OEM parts. No problems,very impressed .

Took apart ( 8 screws or so) removed motor and wiring stuck it back together....works like new.

1. Took trimmer motor housing apart
2. Transferred original motor to new motor housing
3. Transferred original rotation button to new motor housing
4. Installed new gear assembly
5. Reassembled motor housing assembly using original screws

1. Removed the damaged housing and spindle/gear assembly.
2. Installed the new housing and spindle/gear assembly.
3. Verified the tightness of all screws.
4. Performed about 30 minutes of weed eating to verify everything works fine.
Note: These parts appear to be OEM and therefore perfect replacement parts. I've now used my repaired weed eater/trimmer for several hours. I works like brand new. I have 6 power settings and only use it on the lowest setting (1). I have used it on setting 6 a couple of times but is just a waste of power and runs down the batter a lot quicker than setting 1. I can get about an hour out of the battery on setting 1 on normal grass, otherwise about 30 minutes if the grass/weeds and tough and super tough. Most importantly is making sure the long strands of grass and vines don't wrap around the spindle assembly - which is what eventually caused the failure of the original product. I was really amazed at the reasonable price of these parts given how expensive the electric weed trimmer is. I usually run the battery powered 40Volt weed trimmer for about 1 hour per week on average. I am pleased with the repairs using these parts and would do it again.

Opened the motor housing assembly...it was very obvious what needed to be replaced...ordered the parts.....they arrived in 4-5 business days....replaced and reassembled unit and fired that baby up! perfect!
