How do you remove the spool?

To remove the spool tighten the drag and unscrew the spool in the direction of the arrow marked "spool removal".

You may have to tighten the drag all the way down, then just unscrew the spool

I think you turn the rear drag counter clock wise or just hold it and unscrew the spool several turns counter clockwise. The guy at Dick's sporting goods helped me when I purchased line for him to spool new line.

Hold the handle and spin the spool left 5 to 6 times and it comes right off

The end just unscrews. No tools needed. There is a double gasket seal so it turn a little hard.

You need to grind off the little pin on the retaining pin to remove it. Unfortunately it's a permanent solution.

Just insert a little flat screwdriver by one side and pull out, don´t make to much force only a gentle pull

Each of the ribbon posts have a large lip on the end of them. You do not need that lip, so I suggest that you cut off that lip, and the spool will come right off of the post.

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

Normally you just push in the 2 thingies on the side and pull it off. If you are having trouble doing this, it is probably because some line got jammed, and that's why the feed isn't working. You might have to use a knife blade or other tool to pry the reel out.

I haven't seen just the spool separate. If that's important to you I'd go with the red version which is a bit more expensive but comes with that spool. Brian W.

Pull it strongly to remove. NEVER drill, there's a thread for the air coupler

It looks like you can unfasten the end caps using the tip of a scissors and pressing one side of it. I don't know how to describe it but here is a link to a you tube video that demonstrates it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDr7-7NAblY&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

its easy until you get to the loop at the top --in other words picture you put the spool on the top you go down one side and up the other the metal looper that comes out of the top should come out a little more so you can attach the thread there---I always have to use tweezers to get the thread in.....after that it is easy. its good you asked this question because it is a good little machine and this is the only part that annoys me about it....I wonder what others have to say!!

Yes you can tear off any length you want. The spool is just tensioned, it does not have any set ratcheting length where it stops.

pretty simple to do, just unscrew your present nozzle and then screw on the new one. To remove your old one grab the the end of the nozzle toward the water flexible hose and then turn the nozzle counter clockwise. Should come right off

So from the top - unplug the dremel, push and hold the metal pin to lock it. Twist the black metal piece, the collet nut (you might need a wrench if its tight) and then to remove the collet, which is what I believe you are asking about - I just grab mine with my fingers and twist it out. You could use pliers but its soft metal (ideally you won't need it anymore I guess) I hope this helps.

The model no of the spool that I purchased for it is 88512. I am sorry I bought the trimmer though, because it is impossible for me to install a new spool on it. Because it is a dual spool, one line goes one way and the other goes the other way. I just had my 55 y.o.son try to do it for me and he could not do it either. So now I have a trimmer and 2 spools that I can't use. Excuse the venting. You didn't ask how I liked it, but had to get it out.

Just remove the only screw on the side the handle and pull apart. Hope this helps.

You have to pop off the orange cap that is on the bottom of the trimmer. You just press in both sides for the cap, replace string and then pop it back on
