Does this part come with spring and panels?

Leonard for model number 499901 asked on 2019-07-25

Hello Leonard, thank you for inquiring. This Pulley/Spring Assembly includes the durable plastic pulley and the metal recoil spring, but the housing, pull rope and the grip are all sold separately. We will need the model number for your unit to locate those other replacements for you. We look forward to hearing back from you!

The spring came loose after I was installing a rope and I could not rewind the old spring.

I completed the installations according to the instructions. The part that I ordered was the exact replacement and worked perfectly. I appreciate getting the pulley/spring assembly quickly in the mail. Thanks and have a great day. Stephen.
