It's a good idea just to get the whole spindle assembly it's cheaper and easy to fix

The new unit was easier to install than it was to take the old one out. Since the bolt holes are not threaded run the bolts in/out before you put it back together.

Item as described, excellent fitment, complete unit easy to install ready to work after installation, arrived on time

part was just what i needed, replacement went very smooth

After comparing prices and factoring in time and labor, I decided it was easier to replace the whole spindle assembly as a unit than just the broken line holder. The placement of the bolts in the housing was problematic and the self tapping bolts were a ridiculous cop out but it all worked. Here’s a tip: clamp the assembly gently in a vice and run ALL FOUR of the self tapping bolts in all the way then take them out. Then hold the assembly in place on the machine and start the bolts in the holes. Now the threads are cut and you can turn the bolts with your fingers which is a huge help.

It came fully assembled and all I had to do was install it! The 4 'screw' holes are not tapped they are just a clean drilled hole! I just used stainless bolts with washers and lock washers and it'll Neve come loose! Otherwise easy instal and works perfectly!

Replacement was exact fit and cheaper than purchasing most of the parts I needed individually. Very easy replace. Recommend you buy an extra ball.

I received the Line Trimmer Assembly in a timely manner. Soon after receiving it, I placed the Walk Behind Trimmer into the back of my pickup and on the tailgate I began removing the old assembly. It took approximately 45 minutes to install the new one. I lifted it down and started it up and started trimming around my garage and sidewalk. Worked excellent!
