It is extremely frustrating that you left this video up knowing full well that unlocking the trimmer head is unnecessary to reload the line. The locking mechanism can be extremely hard to unlock. It took me two hours of agonizing frustration and research on tips/tricks to get it unlocked, then again to get it locked. Then after all of that is done, I realized you literally only have to feed the string through the holes of the trimmer head to refill the string. Thanks for wasting two hours of my life. Please add something in the video about this. No one should have to scroll down to the comments to find out about this. You have misled several other users already as evident in the comments
@@JohnMcGeeJackson thanks for chiming in. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having such a time with your trimmer. Fortunately there are several ways to replace the line and this is one of them. I appreciate your input. Unfortunately there is no way to add any content to an uploaded UA-cam video once it has been uploaded.
Thanks so much, Field Guide. I learned the complete take apart and that’s how I need to do it each time, but always need the step-by-step guidance. Much appreciated!
My husband passed away suddenly last year and I've had to learn to do a lot of things, and replacing the string on his Ryobi weed wacker was one of those things. Thank you for this detailed easy video, it truly helped me out!

This video was so very helpful! My husband passed in February and I find myself doing what I called "his jobs". I had to get help with tightening the head from a manly neighbor (my hands are way to small to grip), but your video was awesome! Thank you so much!! It is the only one that I watched that was helpful.
Lori, first off, my condolences on the loss of your husband and I commend you for stepping up and "doing-it-yourself"! You go this. I am so glad it helped. Yes, loosening that head can be tricky. I heard today that it does not have to be removed (but I'm still investigating because every Ryobi instruction I've seen says to remove it). I would suggest keeping a pair of channel lock pliers around to help grip equally tough jobs. Thanks so much for watching. Any other questions or suggestions would be appreciated.
@@FieldGuidetoDIY I've seen instructions that suggest threading the line through the fully assembled trimmer head, but I had no luck doing that. This video was far more useful and a faster method.
Wow thank you so much! I spent almost a hour this evening trying to do this. The man in me was too lazy to read the instructions or grab my phone. Makes sense now. You’re a life saver!!
So glad it helped. I can totally relate to not reading instructions. Then when I do, sometimes they’re wrong or for several models. Id rather SEE instructions. Thanks so much for watching!
This video finally allowed me to use my trimmer again! Mine wasn’t empty, just tangled, so I appreciate you showing the entire replacement process and not a shortcut. Thank you!
Nope! Doing it the hard way! I lined up arrow and pulled out old string and put new string in it, put crank on and turned until it was about 2-3 inches hanging out. Just did it today. Super easy my way!
Thank you for actually explaining the confusing part. Too many videos out there with people rambling about junk in their garage or their story about why they bought the thing or whatever.

Thank you for the wd40 advise i nearly broke my thumb cranking on this thing, i also wore leathery work gloves to get better grip and it finally worked 😅
Thank you so much. The instruction manual that came with the trimmer does not tell you to line up the opening in the head. Of course it'll never feed if you don't. You saved me a lot of time and trouble.
Thank you! I've owned a Ryobi weed wacker for about 6 years and just always loaded it my way... I happened to look up the proper way to load the string today and man, what a difference. Thank you!
I was thinking the same thing But I removed the head anyway so could clean around the area . Pretty simple don't you know ? Blessing from the free state of beautiful Florida.. P/s I've owned many weed eaters in my life time I remember when they were first introduced .But this 40 volt electric Ryobi is by far the best I've ever used ..No cord no gas or oil, no fumes no pulling the crank cord until your arm falls off ",A big plus.."And it is 🔋 powerful .."Nice !"😁 👍
Thanks for opening the trimmer head. In fact, you do not need to take it apart, you can align the two arrows to the two points pulling the string through the two holes, rewind it. I learned a lesson that the spring jumps out when I pulled out the head too fast.
Thanks so much for commenting Chuck. You’re exactly right. This was A way to do it but not THE way to load the string. Here’s a follow-up video I did - ua-cam.com/video/Yp-FjN68xns/v-deo.html. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you for this how-to video! I was about to give up on my Ryobi string trimmer as a "bad product", when all this time I was loading it incorrectly. I bought the pole chain saw and the brush cutter attachments within a short time of buying the motor head with string trimmer attachment. Life happened and the products were put aside for awhile. I read the instructions for the products that would have possibly cut my foot or head off and decided that since I already owned and used 18V Ryobi string trimmers, I would not read the instructions for the 40V string trimmer. HA! Big mistake. I loaded replacement string like I would my 18V string trimmer with great difficulty only to discover that it would not cut, it just fanned the grass in all directions and the string would coil around the string feeder. Lesson learned: Read the instructions to all machinery.
You don't actually need to remove the spool from the housing. You just line up the line on the yellow/green bobbin with the holes in the outer housing while it is fully assembled. Then feed the new string in through the holes - it will feed straight through. Equalize the string so the same amount is sticking out each side and then wind it with the tool. Viola! Easy peasy.
Gannas42, you're exactly right. The way demonstrated in this video was the way my directions said to. Since then, I've found the way you describe. I made a follow-up video here - ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html. Thanks for making sure we knew the other way. And, hey, thanks so much for watching!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY But thank you for this video because I'm struggling to get mine to line up, so pulling it and doing it this way allowed me to get it done!
The other videos I watched only show you how to put the string in when the string has already been removed. No need to take it apart. But I was wondering about the remaining string left on the spool. This video really helped me understand the removal of the old string. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video, so much easier to follow and understand as opposed to the terrible instructions in the booklet! When I put it together, the instructions were horrible; but it was pretty simple to figure out. Thanks for sharing this.
OMG! Thank you! My neighbor said she has a new Ryobi weed Wacker but hasn't used it for like a year because when she ran out of string she hasn't been able to figure out how to load new string! Thanks to your quick and easy video I have her weed Wacker restrung and ready to roll! Much easier than my weed Wacker...I think I need a Ryobi! 😜🤣
Aw, you are quite welcome. I’m so glad it helped. Yeah, I continue to see DIY videos that tell ya who they are, run an introduction, tell you to subscribe, explain why they haven’t published in a while, and on and on. Just tell me how to fix this thing! I appreciate you watching!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY Well we just moved off-grid to raw 10 acres so I have a grand adventure ahead and want to DIY all I can to build our home so I subbed and clicked your bell because I'm quite sure I'll need your guidance along the way! 😜🤣 Thanks for sharing! ❤️
@@Back2GoodOG ask away. We’ve never lived off the grid but lived in a 40 yr old house that needed not only DIY but TLC. I’ll be happy to help any way I can!
Simple not compared to the hassle free no disassembly at all to load this trimmer…why did you make a video that is 90% work compared to the actual instructions? Line up holes, run line through holes, crank spindle, it LOADS ITSELF. Wtf is this video and how many people have used it as I almost did before realizing the instructions you give here are only if you have a line lock or tangle. It can Be loaded in less than 30 seconds with ZERO Disassembly…
I want to THANK Ryobi for this! I got rid of a 2 string trimmer because of the hassle of winding the head. (Sorry to tell you younger folks that the agility of your hands decreases with age. That’s why I had trouble winding the two string head without it getting loose at least twice and had to start over). When my husband brought me THIS trimmer, I pulled it out and FIRST thing I saw was the double string. I was heartbroken. UNTIL I did what I have been doing a while now and headed to UA-cam for some videos on the product. THIS brought me out of my heartbreak. So THANK YOU RYOBI and Thank You sir for posting this video that made my day. Even if it IS raining and I don’t get to try out my new trimmer until tomorrow or Sunday at the latest. Can’t wait.
You are quite welcome. I’m so glad you found encouragement here. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi, Donna. This is my first trimmer too. There's string in the head already but are we supposed to load new string before first use? Also I put that secondary handle a little lower than marked on the shaft. It made it easier for me to control. The recommended handle location made it feel very heavy to me.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this easy to follow video! My Dad has dementia & takes things apart and forgets how they go back together. I was able to stop him from buying yet another weed eater because it was easier for him to just replace them. I was able to easily replace the string & put it all back together with your instruction. I really appreciate this so very much!
You are quite welcome. I’m glad it was helpful. I commend you for helping out your grandmother! Thanks for helping her and thanks so much for watching.
This is one of the best DYI videos! No-nonsense, he gets right to it on how to do the task. No babbling on about this or that just clean and simple. Well done sir! I have subscribed to your channel and will recommend it!
Maria, I'm so glad it helped. I try to keep all my product and project videos to the no-nonsense time frame (I'm too easily distracted). Thanks for watching and thanks so much for subscribing! Let me know if you have any questions or recommendations.
Yet have you realized this video is 90% work compared to the instructions guide to load line? You don’t have to take anything apart..it’s an easy load system. This video has people disassembling the head when they DONT NEED TO. The line runs into one hole and out the other to leave you with only turning the head to back Load it. You’d better watch a different video or read your instructions
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. This sets a standard for what a "how-to" video should be. It is well-paced, informative, and the visuals support every step. I never would have gotten this put back together and working without you!! And now I know how to rethread without opening the entire unit! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY I am a 73 year old woman, but still cut my lawn, can plant posts for our fence, etc. However, I found that I struggled to get the string housing onto and off the drive (pushing AND turning at the same time!). I have had to rely on others to do this for me. But, using WD40 made a huge difference, and I was able to reassemble it on my own!!
Perfect! From the instructions that came with the weed trimmer, Ryobi, I had no idea what to do. Perfect instructions. As soon as the sun comes out I'm trimming the lawn. Thank you, Field Guide DIY
and for anyone who just wasted the last hour of their life getting stuck at 2:07 where you're attempting to reattach the spool to the head, and no matter HOW HARD YOU TRY, you - CANNOT - get it to twist into place, spray a little WD-40 on the inside of the trimmer head (you will know exactly where to spray it once you fool with it for about 5-10 minutes), and voila...! it twists.
You Mashugana! What a great tip. I personally have not had this difficulty but cannot count the number of folks who’ve reported it is too difficult to remove. However, since making this video, I made another on how to replace the Ryobi string trimmer line IN 2 EASY STEPS - ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this! We tried and tried to feed the line through like the instructions say, and no matter what we did, it would get so you could just barely see it on the inside of the other hole, but it would not come through. It would just catch and pass by. We did everything except try to pull it through with tweezers. Finally said "forget that, just take the head off..." and your video helped us through that. I do love this weed whacker but have mercy this string replacement and taking the head apart is a huge learning curve. Trying to get that head back locked was a nightmare, and my husband is like...the Hulk 😉 and had to get the WD40 because even he couldn't get the dang thing to lock back again! The process took the two of us nearly an hour. And my hubby is quite handy so thats saying something! Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing! I wonder if this video will help - Head Removal - Ryobi Weed Wacker String Trimmer String Replacement ua-cam.com/video/Kt3Zu9_QbD4/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video 😊 I just did it myself! 🤩 Since my husband passed away and now my 18 yr old son left I have to do these kind of tasks myself. After a few attempts of replacing the string line last summer, and wrongly I did make it through last season. This year will be so much easier the correct way.😄
I’m so glad to hear that helped Deb. My condolences on your husband’s passing. Please let me know if you have any questions or recommendations. Thanks so much for watching.
Deborah, I’m sorry to hear your struggling with this. I just did a video on how to replace the string on the Ryobi Weed Wacker Spring Trimmer WITHOUT removing the bobbin spool thingy. Let me know if this helps - ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html
Deb B, I just did a video on how to restring the Ryobi String Trimmer WITHOUT removing the bobbin spool. Let me know if this helps - ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html
OMG!!! Absolutely Hands Down the Best Video on stringing this Weed Eater!!! Other videos pause with no explanation that the string goes through the head. It's like magically it's ready to be wound up... lol!!! Thank You so Very Much for this Easy, Step-by-step instruction on this easy to use machine. ❤
I am the Inventor of this Easy Loading trimmer head of which I license my patent to Ryobi / TTI - You don't have to take it apart. Just line the arrows on the head up to the lines cut into the outside part and the string will push the line straight in and through the hole on the other side. And then once you have the amout of string you want, even it out with the other side, cut it and then just turn the head clockwise and it will wind up on the spool !! - I would highly recommend Eddie that before producing a instructional video you might try reading the instruction manual that Ryobi provides
Upvoted. Hope your comment gets more attention. Looked you up just to fact check whether you actually were the inventor and found your patents with the first link on google. Thank you for this invention that makes life easier!
I tried it your way and it is a pain hitting the other side it is a great concept and the way the video shows works really well also. maybe I was doing it wrong but it just wouldn't work for me
@@markrotruck2900 I did, too. It so happens that the part of the assembly that shows the lock and the arrow weren't aligned, which is why i couldn't get it to snap into place.
Heck no, the written instructions, which were not included with the product, may have been in Mandarin for all I could understand it. This video saved my marriage!
Thank you so much for this easy to follow, informative, professional video! It was to the point, didn't have annoying music, or superfluous conversation Without you, I would have either had to wait for someone to come along to help me, or I would have just bought a new weed wacker.
Thanks so much for this easy to follow video. I just bought this model at HD and had no clue how to reload the string. I hate trying to decipher instructions! This was perfect!
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 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_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.
It took me a while to find the video I was looking for but this was it. The trimmer is slightly different in NZ but the principle is exactly the same. Thank you
Stop and read the directions. No need to remove the head. Just line up the arrows on the head. (you should be able to see thru it). insert 10ft of line and even it up 5ft on each side. Then twist the yellow cap and it will pull the string in. Stop when you have a few inches hanging out. Done
You’re exactly right Roy. I’ve since made this follow-up video demonstrating the technique you describe. Ryobi Weed Wacker String Trimmer String Replacement in 2 EASY STEPS ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html Thanks so much for watching.
@@bjnslc So glad you found the cause. And I’m so glad this video helped. I’ve also shared the video where you don’t remove the bobbin. From the sound of it, that technique would not have helped you. I appreciate you sharing and thanks so much for watching!
Then he makes another video (leaving this one up) and in the other video he says, "you don't have to take the head apart like you see in other videos" as if he isn't other videos 😂
Thank you so much for this! I was fumbling around trying to figure it out on my own for a while without much success lol. This was a huge help. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Very helpful! I have this exact model and had to replace the string for the first time today. It wasn't obvious from looking at it. I found the manual but it's get very small print on the diagrams and I thought "I'll bet there's a UA-cam video how to do this." Thanks.
Everything went well until I had to put it back together.. it aligns but I can’t make it rotate.. looks like I need a bigger set of hands and more strength 😂
Yes, the reassembly can be difficult. I guess they do that so it doesn’t come apart when you bounce it to release more line. That would be a pain. I hope you get it back together. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video, awful product. All I wanted and I had to explain this to the salesman was he thread in, thread out of my last whacker. Told him I did not want anything that entailed disassembly. He sold this to me anyway. Very unhappy. Want to buy a weed wacker?
Honey Badger, thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching. Check out another video I did on another way of loading it and let me know if you end up keeping it. Ryobi Weed Wacker String Trimmer String Replacement in 2 EASY STEPS ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html
U did an excellent tutorial!!! Bravo! U gave excellent instructions (along with a great video) on how to disassemble the thread head. My thread was tangled so I need this video. Ryobi’s manual is poorly written….so thank you again. Take care.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting me know and thanks so much for watching!

instructions that came with the trimmer were not very descriptive in English-so had to rely on your video which was very easy to follow as I replaced the cord.
This video is straight forward, just wish the housing of the head was easy to remove on my unit. Had it for just under 2 years and need to replace the line, except there is something stuck inside the head preventing the line from feeding through cleanly and I'm unable to remove the head by following your instructions or the manual. Looks like I'm having to call Ryobi. Either way, excellent video Eddie, keep it up!
Ryobi should hire you to do their demonstration videos! Of all the videos I have watched about string replacement on this item, this is the easiest for me! Keep it coming and thank you!
Yvette, don’t take this the wrong way but … I love you! They totally should. Seriously thanks so much for watching. I’m so glad it helped. Definitely more on the way.
Thank you for this. I watched easily 10 videos before this making it look like the easiest thing in the world, and fact is it isn’t easy unless you have the straightest line known to man.
I obviously do not. That’s why I keep hold of the line as I wind it. Also, I think the finer the line, the twistier it will be while trying to send it in the channel in the spool.
Thanks. I was actually able to string mine, for all the string supply that came with it, I think 3 of them, without taking it apart. However, I can tell I was lucky as the last two times have been very difficult to line it up just right.
I'm going to WD-40 my string unit, first time I've used it. Figured out how it came apart but was it hard, like two years of grassy grime build up and after some huffing and puffing and a few choice words I've learned in my 68 years, 6 being US Navy, it came apart. This is a great video though, I can see what I will need to do. This time I will get a wrench, I was cranking that green knob by hand thinking this cant be right...but it to wind in the string. I like all the Ryobi equipment she's purchased. All battery powered and they hold a long time.
I'm so glad you got it figured out. Sounds like some great troubleshooting there. Yeah, we love our Ryobi tools as well. Some folks have not had such good luck with theirs but so far so good for us. Hey, thanks so much for watching.

Oh, then you remember stringing together 100 feet of extension cords.🤣🤣🤣. I appreciate you commenting. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for opening the trimmer head. In fact, you do not need to take it apart, you can align the two arrows to the two points pulling the string through the two holes, rewind it. I learned a lesson that the spring jumps out when I pulled out the head too fast.
Thanks so much for commenting Chuck. You’re exactly right. This was A way to do it but not THE way to load the string. Here’s a follow-up video I did - ua-cam.com/video/Yp-FjN68xns/v-deo.html. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you for this how-to video! I was about to give up on my Ryobi string trimmer as a "bad product", when all this time I was loading it incorrectly. I bought the pole chain saw and the brush cutter attachments within a short time of buying the motor head with string trimmer attachment. Life happened and the products were put aside for awhile. I read the instructions for the products that would have possibly cut my foot or head off and decided that since I already owned and used 18V Ryobi string trimmers, I would not read the instructions for the 40V string trimmer. HA! Big mistake. I loaded replacement string like I would my 18V string trimmer with great difficulty only to discover that it would not cut, it just fanned the grass in all directions and the string would coil around the string feeder. Lesson learned: Read the instructions to all machinery.
I hear ya. Check out this video on my collection. The BEST Lawn Care Tool That Nobody's Buying

You don't actually need to remove the spool from the housing. You just line up the line on the yellow/green bobbin with the holes in the outer housing while it is fully assembled. Then feed the new string in through the holes - it will feed straight through. Equalize the string so the same amount is sticking out each side and then wind it with the tool. Viola! Easy peasy.
Gannas42, you're exactly right. The way demonstrated in this video was the way my directions said to. Since then, I've found the way you describe. I made a follow-up video here - ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html. Thanks for making sure we knew the other way. And, hey, thanks so much for watching!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY But thank you for this video because I'm struggling to get mine to line up, so pulling it and doing it this way allowed me to get it done!
Thanks for the tip I will try it next time!
@@shirleyoliver9765 I've also learned that I can fit 12 feet of line in it no problem.
@@Ginger_nuna It only seemed to not line up , if you would have continued to try it would have lined up
The other videos I watched only show you how to put the string in when the string has already been removed. No need to take it apart. But I was wondering about the remaining string left on the spool. This video really helped me understand the removal of the old string. Thanks for posting.
Mickey, I am so glad that it helped. Thank you for watching!
Excellent video, so much easier to follow and understand as opposed to the terrible instructions in the booklet! When I put it together, the instructions were horrible; but it was pretty simple to figure out. Thanks for sharing this.
OMG! Thank you! My neighbor said she has a new Ryobi weed Wacker but hasn't used it for like a year because when she ran out of string she hasn't been able to figure out how to load new string! Thanks to your quick and easy video I have her weed Wacker restrung and ready to roll! Much easier than my weed Wacker...I think I need a Ryobi! 😜🤣
Aw, you are quite welcome. I’m so glad it helped. Yeah, I continue to see DIY videos that tell ya who they are, run an introduction, tell you to subscribe, explain why they haven’t published in a while, and on and on. Just tell me how to fix this thing! I appreciate you watching!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY Well we just moved off-grid to raw 10 acres so I have a grand adventure ahead and want to DIY all I can to build our home so I subbed and clicked your bell because I'm quite sure I'll need your guidance along the way! 😜🤣 Thanks for sharing! ❤️
@@Back2GoodOG ask away. We’ve never lived off the grid but lived in a 40 yr old house that needed not only DIY but TLC. I’ll be happy to help any way I can!
I can’t believe how simple this was. THANK YOU
You are quite welcome. I’m so glad it helped. Thanks so much for watching.
Simple not compared to the hassle free no disassembly at all to load this trimmer…why did you make a video that is 90% work compared to the actual instructions? Line up holes, run line through holes, crank spindle, it LOADS ITSELF. Wtf is this video and how many people have used it as I almost did before realizing the instructions you give here are only if you have a line lock or tangle. It can
Be loaded in less than 30 seconds with ZERO Disassembly…
I want to THANK Ryobi for this! I got rid of a 2 string trimmer because of the hassle of winding the head. (Sorry to tell you younger folks that the agility of your hands decreases with age. That’s why I had trouble winding the two string head without it getting loose at least twice and had to start over). When my husband brought me THIS trimmer, I pulled it out and FIRST thing I saw was the double string. I was heartbroken. UNTIL I did what I have been doing a while now and headed to UA-cam for some videos on the product. THIS brought me out of my heartbreak. So THANK YOU RYOBI and Thank You sir for posting this video that made my day. Even if it IS raining and I don’t get to try out my new trimmer until tomorrow or Sunday at the latest. Can’t wait.
You are quite welcome. I’m so glad you found encouragement here. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi, Donna. This is my first trimmer too. There's string in the head already but are we supposed to load new string before first use?
Also I put that secondary handle a little lower than marked on the shaft. It made it easier for me to control. The recommended handle location made it feel very heavy to me.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this easy to follow video! My Dad has dementia & takes things apart and forgets how they go back together. I was able to stop him from buying yet another weed eater because it was easier for him to just replace them. I was able to easily replace the string & put it all back together with your instruction. I really appreciate this so very much!
Shantel, you are quite welcome. Thank you for letting me know and thank you for taking care of your dad. I am so glad this video helped!
Your Father is a lucky Man and You are a Great Daughter.
THANK YOU!!! I came to my grandmothers to help her mow and your video helped me know how to fix their equipment and help them remember how!
You are quite welcome. I’m glad it was helpful. I commend you for helping out your grandmother! Thanks for helping her and thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for the video , saved me a lot of time trying to figure out the almost useless owners manual that came along with the trimmer.
Absolutely. You are quite welcome Lokepa. I’m so glad it helped. Thanks so much for watching.
Mind blown. I've been doing this wrong my entire life. I always wondered what that extra part was for. Thanks for this well produced video.
You are quite welcome! Thank you so much for watching. I am so glad it helped.
This is one of the best DYI videos! No-nonsense, he gets right to it on how to do the task. No babbling on about this or that just clean and simple. Well done sir! I have subscribed to your channel and will recommend it!
Maria, I'm so glad it helped. I try to keep all my product and project videos to the no-nonsense time frame (I'm too easily distracted). Thanks for watching and thanks so much for subscribing! Let me know if you have any questions or recommendations.
Yet have you realized this video is 90% work compared to the instructions guide to load line? You don’t have to take anything apart..it’s an easy load system. This video has people disassembling the head when they DONT NEED TO. The line runs into one hole and out the other to leave you with only turning the head to back
Load it. You’d better watch a different video or read your instructions
I think he knows, he made a new video. Still this one is helpful. @@riffjohnson22
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. This sets a standard for what a "how-to" video should be. It is well-paced, informative, and the visuals support every step. I never would have gotten this put back together and working without you!! And now I know how to rethread without opening the entire unit! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Maureen, you are most kind. I am so glad it helped. Thank you so much for the kind words. Most appreciated!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY I am a 73 year old woman, but still cut my lawn, can plant posts for our fence, etc. However, I found that I struggled to get the string housing onto and off the drive (pushing AND turning at the same time!). I have had to rely on others to do this for me. But, using WD40 made a huge difference, and I was able to reassemble it on my own!!
I had this weedeater; I threw it in the garbage the first time I had to replace the string….this video confirms I made a good decision 🤦♂️
I appreciate you watching!
0:00 3:10 pm - I’m so glad I found this UA-cam video! 🎉
I can’t “thank you” enough😅🥳
@katiejones8634 Absolutely. I’m so glad it helped.
And if I don't have the crank anymore?...
@@taleciaaaI used my hands
Perfect! From the instructions that came with the weed trimmer, Ryobi, I had no idea what to do. Perfect instructions. As soon as the sun comes out I'm trimming the lawn. Thank you, Field Guide DIY
You are quite welcome, Rita. I’m so glad I could help. Thanks so much for watching!
and for anyone who just wasted the last hour of their life getting stuck at 2:07 where you're attempting to reattach the spool to the head, and no matter HOW HARD YOU TRY, you - CANNOT - get it to twist into place, spray a little WD-40 on the inside of the trimmer head (you will know exactly where to spray it once you fool with it for about 5-10 minutes), and voila...! it twists.
You Mashugana! What a great tip. I personally have not had this difficulty but cannot count the number of folks who’ve reported it is too difficult to remove. However, since making this video, I made another on how to replace the Ryobi string trimmer line IN 2 EASY STEPS - ua-cam.com/video/ivc7CPfGI6g/v-deo.html. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this! We tried and tried to feed the line through like the instructions say, and no matter what we did, it would get so you could just barely see it on the inside of the other hole, but it would not come through. It would just catch and pass by. We did everything except try to pull it through with tweezers. Finally said "forget that, just take the head off..." and your video helped us through that. I do love this weed whacker but have mercy this string replacement and taking the head apart is a huge learning curve. Trying to get that head back locked was a nightmare, and my husband is like...the Hulk 😉 and had to get the WD40 because even he couldn't get the dang thing to lock back again! The process took the two of us nearly an hour. And my hubby is quite handy so thats saying something! Thanks again!

Thank you for this video 😊 I just did it myself! 🤩
Since my husband passed away and now my 18 yr old son left I have to do these kind of tasks myself.
After a few attempts of replacing the string line last summer, and wrongly I did make it through last season. This year will be so much easier the correct way.😄
I’m so glad to hear that helped Deb. My condolences on your husband’s passing. Please let me know if you have any questions or recommendations. Thanks so much for watching.
I can’t rotate mine to make the arrows line up. I’m alone too!

OMG!!! Absolutely Hands Down the Best Video on stringing this Weed Eater!!!
Other videos pause with no explanation that the string goes through the head. It's like magically it's ready to be wound up... lol!!!

Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching.

Oh, not just a theory. This trimmer can change your life. Thx so much for watching!
From a guy who was finding it tough to do in Sydney Australia, thank you very much!
You are quite welcome. So glad it helped!
I am the Inventor of this Easy Loading trimmer head of which I license my patent to Ryobi / TTI - You don't have to take it apart. Just line the arrows on the head up to the lines cut into the outside part and the string will push the line straight in and through the hole on the other side. And then once you have the amout of string you want, even it out with the other side, cut it and then just turn the head clockwise and it will wind up on the spool !! - I would highly recommend Eddie that before producing a instructional video you might try reading the instruction manual that Ryobi provides
Upvoted. Hope your comment gets more attention. Looked you up just to fact check whether you actually were the inventor and found your patents with the first link on google. Thank you for this invention that makes life easier!
I tried it your way and it is a pain hitting the other side it is a great concept and the way the video shows works really well also. maybe I was doing it wrong but it just wouldn't work for me
I am having a heck of a time twisting my spool back on the head assembly. Is there some kind of trick. I just can't get it done. Thanks
@@markrotruck2900 I did, too. It so happens that the part of the assembly that shows the lock and the arrow weren't aligned, which is why i couldn't get it to snap into place.
Heck no, the written instructions, which were not included with the product, may have been in Mandarin for all I could understand it. This video saved my marriage!
You're a life saver! Thank you so much for this video. i had taken mine apart almost a year ago, and i had forgotten how to re-assemble it.
I am so glad that it helped. Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for this easy to follow, informative, professional video! It was to the point, didn't have annoying music, or superfluous conversation
Without you, I would have either had to wait for someone to come along to help me, or I would have just bought a new weed wacker.
Glad I could help!
If it weren’t for this video I’d have never gotten the line changed. Thank you for the assistance.
Absolutely! I am so glad it helped.
Thanks so much for this easy to follow video. I just bought this model at HD and had no clue how to reload the string. I hate trying to decipher instructions!
This was perfect!
So glad it helped!
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 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_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.
It took me a while to find the video I was looking for but this was it. The trimmer is slightly different in NZ but the principle is exactly the same. Thank you
Stop and read the directions. No need to remove the head. Just line up the arrows on the head. (you should be able to see thru it). insert 10ft of line and even it up 5ft on each side. Then twist the yellow cap and it will pull the string in. Stop when you have a few inches hanging out. Done
You’re exactly right Roy. I’ve since made this follow-up video demonstrating the technique you describe. Ryobi Weed Wacker String Trimmer String Replacement in 2 EASY STEPS

thats what im saying....
My string crossed over as factory installed it, so I had to take the lousy thing apart.
@@bjnslc So glad you found the cause. And I’m so glad this video helped. I’ve also shared the video where you don’t remove the bobbin. From the sound of it, that technique would not have helped you. I appreciate you sharing and thanks so much for watching!
Then he makes another video (leaving this one up) and in the other video he says, "you don't have to take the head apart like you see in other videos" as if he isn't other videos 😂
Perfect video. I had no clue what to do, then after watching the short video, I did it perfectly-- back business. I can't thank you enough!
Gordon, so glad it helped! Thanks so much for letting me know and for watching.
Thank you so much for this! I was fumbling around trying to figure it out on my own for a while without much success lol. This was a huge help.

Very helpful! I have this exact model and had to replace the string for the first time today. It wasn't obvious from looking at it. I found the manual but it's get very small print on the diagrams and I thought "I'll bet there's a UA-cam video how to do this." Thanks.
So glad it helped, Jon. Thanks so much for watching.

@@FieldGuidetoDIY 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything went well until I had to put it back together.. it aligns but I can’t make it rotate.. looks like I need a bigger set of hands and more strength 😂
Yes, the reassembly can be difficult. I guess they do that so it doesn’t come apart when you bounce it to release more line. That would be a pain. I hope you get it back together. Thanks so much for watching.
I have this trouble, too. I've found wearing a pair of rubberized garden gloves while resembling helps give me the extra grip I need.
@amandaandrus4616 great tip! Thank you!
"Reassembling," that is 🙂

Cannot thank you enough!
Great video, awful product. All I wanted and I had to explain this to the salesman was he thread in, thread out of my last whacker. Told him I did not want anything that entailed disassembly. He sold this to me anyway. Very unhappy. Want to buy a weed wacker?

Took me an hour to find this video. Thought I bought the wrong spools until I realized with that head, it's manually spooled. Thank you
Absolutely! So glad you found it!
U did an excellent tutorial!!! Bravo! U gave excellent instructions (along with a great video) on how to disassemble the thread head. My thread was tangled so I need this video. Ryobi’s manual is poorly written….so thank you again. Take care.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting me know and thanks so much for watching!
instructions that came with the trimmer were not very descriptive in English-so had to rely on your video which was very easy to follow as I replaced the cord.
I am happy it helped.
This video is straight forward, just wish the housing of the head was easy to remove on my unit. Had it for just under 2 years and need to replace the line, except there is something stuck inside the head preventing the line from feeding through cleanly and I'm unable to remove the head by following your instructions or the manual. Looks like I'm having to call Ryobi.
Either way, excellent video Eddie, keep it up!
Thanks so much. Clayton. And thanks so much for watching.
So glad I found your video. Every video on YT except for yours was of a different tool. Thank you!
Andy I’m so glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching!

woww
That is great to hear, Amber. So glad you got it taken care of. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for watching!
Ryobi should hire you to do their demonstration videos! Of all the videos I have watched about string replacement on this item, this is the easiest for me! Keep it coming and thank you!
Yvette, don’t take this the wrong way but … I love you! They totally should. Seriously thanks so much for watching. I’m so glad it helped. Definitely more on the way.
Amazing video exactly what I was looking for and the step at the end to just lightly bump even better thank you 🎉😅!!!
So glad it helped!
Thank you for this. I watched easily 10 videos before this making it look like the easiest thing in the world, and fact is it isn’t easy unless you have the straightest line known to man.
I obviously do not. That’s why I keep hold of the line as I wind it. Also, I think the finer the line, the twistier it will be while trying to send it in the channel in the spool.
Thanks!
Aw, thank you so much Deb!
I want to say Thanks for your detailed video. Helped me with my string trimmer where others weren't helping.🙂Good to go, now!
Aw, I’m so glad it helped! Please let me know if you have any questions or other product suggestions Karen.
Thanks. I was actually able to string mine, for all the string supply that came with it, I think 3 of them, without taking it apart. However, I can tell I was lucky as the last two times have been very difficult to line it up just right.
Excellent!
Thanks for getting straight to the instructions! No droning on and on about inane info. Explained the procedure very well and succinct to boot!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the DETAILED step by step instructions on how to load the string on my 40v Ryobi trimmer.
You are quite welcome. I am so glad that you found it helpful.
Thank you. My string was stuck inside the head so I had to take the whole thing apart to restring it. This was very helpful.
Yes, I've used the way where you don't remove the housing but that way won't work if the line is fouled inside the spool.
Great video - brief and to the point, no fluff needed when in the middle of working on the yard! :) Thank you!!!
Thanks so much. So glad it helped!
This video is perfect! I just loaded my weed whacker - no problems thanks to this.
You are quite welcome!
I'm going to WD-40 my string unit, first time I've used it. Figured out how it came apart but was it hard, like two years of grassy grime build up and after some huffing and puffing and a few choice words I've learned in my 68 years, 6 being US Navy, it came apart.
This is a great video though, I can see what I will need to do. This time I will get a wrench, I was cranking that green knob by hand thinking this cant be right...but it to wind in the string. I like all the Ryobi equipment she's purchased. All battery powered and they hold a long time.
I'm so glad you got it figured out. Sounds like some great troubleshooting there. Yeah, we love our Ryobi tools as well. Some folks have not had such good luck with theirs but so far so good for us. Hey, thanks so much for watching.
