    Gas line trimmer
    I have a Sears Featherlite Plus FL26. I was using it and the line got wrapped up, something gave way and then the trimmer head stopped spinning, but the engine kept running. Is there a shear pin or something in the shaft? Did something strip out?

    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Remove the head of the trimmer and inspect the flex drive line at both ends. It should just pullout. I suspect the shaft has sheared or rounded out the plastic head.

    I was able to disconnect the engine side of the shaft. The line trimmer side however is locked in place and I cannot remove the cap. The flex shaft was sheard off at the trimmer end as I was able to pull the entire flex shaft out from the engine side. Thank you.
