I'm 75 and my dad always called them water pump pliers. Most people now days say, "what's a water pump pliers?" 😊 Great video. I know you're a real mechanic because you try to fix things first before heading to a parts catalog.

Man I was operating my old Stihl FS45 today after it had sat up not running for over 20+ yrs now being it was my wife's dad's & it wouldn't stay running for him so he gave it to her B4 she & I met & I stored it in my old shed until the other day when I decided what the heck let's get this thing going! So I bought a new pull cord assembly, then realized that the engine had seized up so I poured a little engine oil in it & it started moving then rebuilt the carb & a new spark plug & fuel filter as well as a new fuel line wooola! It's running again .. so today took it out on a job & it was doing great until darn head fell off half way through the job! I stuck it back in & cranked it & once again it fell out so I was about to just electrical tape it together to the spring shaft & noticed it wasn't going to work like that so I left the job unfinished & came home & decided to Google & see if anyone else has had this problem & fortunately ran across your KZread vy! Appreciate it man I'll have it fixed now! A++ 👍 subscribed & following! 😁

cheers Steve I had that happen on mine yesterday and as I was cleaning my garden in france I did not want to take it to a repair shop here as I normally fix my own kit in England so I checked on the price of a new end and a few choice words later said sod that it was almost what my old strimmer was worth but now all fixed and ready for round two in a balmy 40 degrees summer heat so a few cold ones now cheers Steve

Thanks Steve, I just bought a new Husqvarna weed trimmer on Tuesday. Hope I don't need to use your trick for a while.

I was wondering if it was the same on a straight shaft Stihl and then you went and said the exact same model I had right at the end🤝🤝👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank-you Steve. That end was worn completely down. The neighbour/tinkerer brazed sone metal and latgef the groove. We watched your vidyo and got to it. That clip is a bastard though. It didnt go on well and got distorted. I always feel confident after your advice. Cheers from Glenora. Ps. The assembly is 35$ at Highway rentals. If it cant be fixed at home with your help, I'll support the best local shop.

That’s amazing. Thanks for the visuals and the tricks. I love it! Oh, and if you lose the C-clip, you can cut one out of thin aluminum. The aluminum clip that comes with a mosquito coil works just fine. Fashioned one for a two-stroke motorcycle carburetor.

A perfect description of the construction of trimmer head in position. Thank you

Hey Steve, I watch you now and then, but I do watch quite a few of your videos. You my friend are very helpful even if some the content doesn't pertain to what my issues are. Now I have a Poulan Prolink PP330 string trimmer. I bought it bran new about 9 or 10 years ago. I only used it maybe 3 or 4 times That first season and it hasn't started or ran since. I check the spark plug which OK but I changed it anyway, checked and cleaned the carburetor, I even made up a fresh mix of gas, still nothing. Now I have no idea why I held onto it so long not running either. I don't know if you would no what the issue maybe or not. It's not like it really matters I've been without it this long. Thanks Steve have a great day. Happy father's day.

You earned a sub. Great video. When I took my bearing out I had to beat it out with a pin and hammer it was so tight. Also the bearing in there looks sheared off near the recess metal for the c clip. I ordered a new one and am installing it now. Praying that it jives well. Thanks Steve I appreciate you!!

Steve, I had the trimmer head of my FS45 fly off in the woods while doing trail maintenance 2 yrs ago. I went to my local Stihl dealer for parts and assistance. He told me it would be cheaper to buy a new trimmer. Due to the type of work I was doing, I bought the Stihl 131R - it's a beast with a steel blade! I still have the FS45 curved shaft. After seeing your video, I'm going to get it back out and try your solution. Thanks!

Gday Steve, I have a FS-460CE. The gear head on this machine is slightly different to the smaller residential machines. I have just removed and regressed the the bearings and cleaned it all up, It’s back together now though I’m not sure if the top shaft with the circlip is pushed down to far into the gear below. I couldn’t find any reassembly specs in relation to tolerances.. A future vid on a tear down and rebuild on one of these would be awesome 👌 Great channel.. Mike Jones from West Oz

I was getting so frustrated with the new head flying off my FS45 I could have angerly bent the shaft in half. Since I've suscribed to your channel for years I took a breather and searched your videos. Found one...Perfect & Easy fix. Most importantly, you saved me a boatload of money. Thanks. P.S. Try a Negra Modelo
