You have to split the front of the weedeater from the engine. Easy job to split it - I did it 2 weeks ago to replace the cord. The recoil comes in the front of the weedeater & is held in with screws & plates so wont fly apart.

Yep--done that but cant remove metal plate to enable access to pull cord--moves a bit up and down but something is holding it
