So glad I found this! I was upset my wackier wouldn’t turn, brand new! I could hear it working but not spinning… yahoo

Just a quick note to say thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. Lost drive on an Fs460c - found your video and was back in business in 2 mins. Thanks a lot - really appreciate it.

Just saved me a whole headache of trouble. 20 minutes into a full day I had set aside for clearing some land my blade stopped spinning. Fixed in 30 seconds with this video.

You just saved me a trip to the repair shop. Got it fixed in minutes. Thanks!

You just saved me some $$. My Stihl FS-90 head stopped spinning. The head had slipped down about 3/4 “. Stumble on your sight……. All working…. Thanks

Thank you sooo much!! Saved my husband time and effort and probably a long wait to get it back from an authorized repair site.

I knew this, but I didn't know it. Good tips, great video! 💯💯💯

Very good teaching , showing and telling

good video Jeremy, Thanks for tips!

lol that tag was hilarious! I have the same problem with those darn tags -- thanks for the video and all the great tips!

you da man jeremy! thats the handiest dandy tool!

Thank you for the excellent video. Solved my Husqvarna problem. Could even tell it had slipped on the shaft like in the video, Must have been gradual but the brush blade finished it off.

Thanks again for the education.

Eyelet replacement tips?

Do you have a video on why trimmer head want stop spinning

Cool idea with the oil filter wrench...

How can i tell if it is the clutch drum or the clutch on a Shindaiwa? When i put the clutch drum on the shaft I can turn the drum & the trimmer head turns...but when i hook up the engine....the trimmer head does not turn...?

Great idea with the oil wrench!

Awesome as usual. Thx

I changed the head on my fs80r today. Now I have a bad wobble when I initially throttle up. The wobble goes away at higher rpm’s, any ideas?

@THEMOWERMEDIC1, I know this isn't a Stihl topic but just curious if you have seen the new 3020 from Echo, could a guy swap the flex cable for the steel driveshaft, if so what parts would a guy need? I'm getting it mainly to trim n cut weeds but some of the properties I'm on for my mom's boss have thick tree like weeds. Would like to bo both but thought I'd ask. Thanks JD

Thanks! Did this a few days ago and when the charge showed up it looked like an app charge for super thanks. I requested and received a refund. In the meantime, I realized it was my earlier support and thank you payment to you. Sorry!

wow... thank you !

Great stuff!!!! As Always!!!!!!!! Thanks again for all you do!!!

THANK YOU.....

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzfaq.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

Not sure if this helped anyone but the wrench tip is good.

Strap wrench works good in taking off the spool head too.

dat stuff detached from itself, can that alone make it not spin well.

“needs head work” man don’t we all 🤣🤣

Thanks!

mine had a set screw under the shroud

Would this fix appy to a Black and Decker electric weed eater?? Thanks!! Subscribed!

You know? Call me weird...but I lube every bolt/shaft/what have you while installing anything because I know that if it goes TOGETHER it is going to have to come APART again. And I never...have to use special tools to get something off like the head of a trimmer. Lube your stuff guys.

Thanks buddy

Ok but what if the drive cable is totally detached from the head. I can see my drive cable but it's resting on the wall of the shaft. I just don't know how to line it up to put it back in the head of the weed eater

Themowermedic1 made my day! 👍

The problem I had was on the residential model Husqvarna the shaft had too much forward and backward play and would disconnect from the motor kind of like your Stihl, but it is not easily fixable. I think the cause of it was from the storage option to take it apart, the shaft is 2 pieces instead of 1. Never buy a weed eater that has the option to remove half of the shaft because that is a major weak point.

Question . Why didn't you clean off the debr

Good video. While you had it, I would have also hit that bevel gear head with some grease.

Can anyone shed light on something. I have seen all this topic and vids on Stihl. Have not crossed nothing yet on grease fitting and gearing. As in 1. Why do some have grease fitting and other newer etc may not? 2. Exactly how can one be greased with no fitting within gear box up by head? Example- I have a RC-56 and no grease fitting. Have a older 55 with fitting. Price for that box looks to be half of a new trimmer itself. Or is that exactly why they removed fitting. To make you by whole gearing box....

You aren't kidding the clutch edge gets razor sharp when they wear down!

I hate that this owner didnt put original head

Wish you were my neighbor. You'd get rich off me.Women don't have the patience for these repairs. That's another reason we need men. unfortunately none in my area. they give me their stuff to fix even after hearing me curse for hours in the yard at my lawn mowers and weed whackers.

$75 dollars comeback and see us..

Lmao 🤣 at the spelling!
