I am trying to find out how to replace the pull cord on a craftman weed eater model #358796600. Can anyone help.

My advice. Take it off. Take to lawnmower shop. Probably $20 later fixed.

I guess kiss is correct here, much simpler and not nearly as aggravating.

It will likely be $75 if you go to Sears Repair. They don't spit for less than $75. Still that rope can be a real pain in the rear to change. It may be a Craftman but go to some local yocal before them.
