Hi, I’m Mark from eReplacementParts.com. In this video, I’m going to show you how to replace the trimmer head slider on a Ryobi trimmer. The slider is one of the parts inside the trimmer head that controls the amount of line that’s fed out of the head when it’s bumped against the ground. After years of use, it’s possible that the slider can become damaged or worn and will need to be replaced. Replacing it is easy to do, and I’m going to show you how. Sliders, as well as many other parts, can be found on our website. Let’s get started.

I’ll begin by removing the bump head knob and the spool. I’ll use a small pick to pull the C-clip away from the shaft. Now remove the plunger and the plunger spring. Now I’ll remove the E-clip and the slider. I’ll use a pair of split-ring pliers to do that.

Now the slider, and this gets secured with the E-clip. Now I’ll install the plunger spring and the plunger. You’ll notice that there’s some angled faces on the plunger. There are also angled faces on the slider, and I want to align those two together. Once in place, I’ll press the plunger in and secure it with the C-clip.

Now I’ll install the spool. The spool comes pre-packaged with trimmer line already on it. And often the two lines are twisted together, and this is just for shipping. So, what I want to do is pull the lines away from each other, so I have them extending out both sides of the trimmer head. You’ll notice there’s these clips on either side of the head, and those are to temporarily hold the line while we insert the spool into the trimmer head.

So, I’ll lineup each of the trimmer lines with the eyelets on the trimmer head, and then slide the head over the shaft. Once in place, I’ll give a tug on the lines, and that’s to pull them away from those temporary clips. And now I’ll secure the spool with the bump head knob. Because of the spring on the knob, you’ll need to press in as you secure it.

And that’s how you replace the trimmer head slider on the Ryobi Trimmer. If you found this video helpful, be sure to give us a thumbs-up, and leave a comment.
