If a new trimmer head cannot be installed, part of the old trimmer head may still be attached to the output shaft. If the threaded output shaft transitions to a round section with a square drive near the gear case, that lower section is part of the old trimmer head and must be removed before the new trimmer head can be installed.
Follow the steps below to remove the remaining trimmer head components.
