Replacement easier than expected.
Power edger back in operation. No need to try and rewind the spring, it came coiled and ready to insert - just take your time during installation.

Removed the broken recoil starter by removing three bolts. The replacement part came attached to a metal housing so I removed the recoil starter from that housing. Attached the replacement recoil starter to the edger. Works perfectly!
Hardest part was removing the replacement recoil starter from the housing. The housing was not needed for my edger.
