Part #308042002
This spool retainer is sourced from the equipment manufacturer for use in trimmers. It is a plastic knob, measuring 2 inches in diameter, with a threaded metal bolt in the center. The retainer has a right hand thread, and it is used to secure the spool within the trimmer head to prevent it from coming loose during operation. The retainer engages with the trimmer head to lock the spool in place, while it also advances the cutting line for greater cutting efficiency. If the threads on the retainer bolt wear out or the plastic body becomes damaged, the retainer will be unable to engage with the trimmer head, causing the line to tangle, the spool to come loose, and lowering the cutting performance of the trimmer. Remove the trimmer head cover and detach the retainer from the assembly. Position the new spool retainer in the assembly and thread it firmly into place.

Old curved shaft for Ryobi had seized-up and wouldn't turn
1 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Mark from MANCHESTR CTR, VT
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Wrench (Adjustable)
I have been using string trimmers for over 40 years now, doing the grounds work at a small motel, and this is the best combination I have found!

I have the new 40V battery carbon fiber shaft model, but I use the curved shaft. I have stacked stone walls and many obstacles to get around, and the curved shaft works best. But, Ry obi sends their straight shaft with the new trimmer, and it turns in the opposite direction (counter clockwise) and is hard for me to get into the areas I need.

To correct this, I use the Oregon brand Gatorhead, which fits on the Ryobi with no modiification (easy) and the line comes in spiral discs which can work for either direction of trimmer head to dispense effortlessly. Now, I have a new curved shaft on a new trimmer with the head turning in the clockwise direction.

This item has been discontinued, so get it when you find one, and stock up on line discs too!
