Repair was easier than first conceived, part was exactly what I needed
The part was sort of the drive shaft of my string trimmer. It fit just like it was supposed to. The wait for the part wasn't too bad. Look at the part in the accompanying photo. The weight has to be ounces so the only gripe I have is the outrageous shipping charge of well over $20.

Disassembly is pretty easy, just some Phillips screws, a push button release, and a clamp, and the shaft just pulls out easy. There are a couple of helpful videos on YouTube to walk you through it, although I didn\'t need to do everything the video said to do, as far as disassembling the string head completely apart, not necessary for my

Removed lower and upper tubes. Ordered lower shaft. Replaced upper tube because I realized I didn\'t need to remove it. Inserted new shaft into lower tube, screwed it back on and replaced trimmer head.
