I can't figure out how to remove the metal cylinder (where rod goes) so I can remove orange housing - and reach cord to replace.

On top of cylinder is a piece that looks like it might have star screw down inside of it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that star requires a special screwdriver, sears, or any place that sells tools may help you with getting the right ones to use unless it takes a hex end wrench. Metal cylinder? Straight shaft where the flex drive line goes?

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about! Where the flex line goes.

Thank you very much!
