I need to replace the whole trimmer head and I dont know how to get the gear case off so I can put the new one on. Can anyone help?
ANSWER : To replace the trimmer head you don’t need to replace the gear case. If you look closely about a 1/4 inch up from the safety guard you’ll see a hole in the side of the “gearcase” assemby. (you may have to clean the old dead grass clippings off to see it) You can shove a rod into the hole that will stop the head from spinning freely and I believe you spin the head clock wise (reverse threads) to remove the head.

The head won,t turn – Craftsman 25cc Gas Line Trimmer
ANSWER : You will need to pull the head off, as it sounds like the cable is off. there should be four bolts/screws, there maybe some in the middle also, gently remove the head(this is the top of the trimmer where the pull cord is, once you have it separated you can turn the cable by hand and the line feeder should rotate, if it does then look inside the head and make sure it is still square and not rounded. or you can pull the line feeder off and pull the cord and see if the cable rotates, whichever you feel comfortable with trying. Good Luck Tim

ANSWER : 1. Remove the cap on the trimmer head, it unscrews.2.
The spool comes off, and on the inside of the spool there is a small
hole, this is where you will start your trimmer line. It it will hold it
in place while you wrap it. There is also arrows on the spool showing
the direction that you need to wrap your spool.3. Insert the
line in the hole and start to wrap the line in the directions of the
arrows, try to keep the line in rows, or else the line may bind and you
will have to do it all over again.4. Feed the line through the
retainer and reinstall the spool by lining up the retainer and the slot
on the outside portion on the trimmer head, the screw back on the
trimmer head and you will be ready to trim.

How do i change from trimmer to edger? – Homelite Consumer Products 4.0 Amp, 13 In. Trimmer
ANSWER : I know that on Black and Decker there is a button down on the head near where the shaft enters that when depressed will allow the operator to rotate the head to a new position 90 degrees away from start position. On my Craftsman, the joint between the power unit and the driven unit there is a little pushbutton that allows the head to be oriented in four different directions.
