Repaired my old Ryobi 725r trimmer head
I purchased this to fix my trimmer head as I had used too large of trimmer line in it. The slider broke in half and I needed to fix it. This was the part I needed and it worked.

Perfect part for the repair
When this slider broke in my Ryobi 725r trimmer head, I wondered if that was the end of this machine's useful life. Glad to find the replacement part still available here on this site. Installed the part, and my trimmer was up and running fine. Good price, good shipping.

poor component design
This is the 4th time in 20 years I have had to replace this component. Obviously it should have been made using more durable metal. This is the "weak link" in the Ryobi weed trimmer line of products.

Line was coming out at an extremely fast rate and would tangle around the shaft.
1. Removed bump head and spool.
2. Remove clip and plastic thrust lever.
3. Replace broken metal spool clutch and missing spring, making sure clutch tabs are engaged properly with springs.
4. Reassemble remaining parts in reverse order.
When I took the head of the string trimmer apart, I realized the slider was bent and a small spring was missing. I had to destroy the e-clip to get it off and out of the way for the slider, so I just made sure I bought one with the order. Once I got the e-clip off, everything went into place just as the diagram shows. String trimmer runs

I took the trimmer head off. Took out the trimmer reel took out the parts that where holding the slider in took the old one out cleaned all the old parts up put the new parts in. Worked perfectly!!
Not to bad ,but the lower retaining lock washer give me a bit of trouble getting it off. Would be a ten minute job if you have the right tool to remove it. Thanks for the video on how to install it. Pete
