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 like new. I am stoked that I was able to find these part for replacement.

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
