Genuine OEM replacement part, this item is sold individually.
The 791-181459 Spring is installed in the 753-04257 slider.
When not activated this part will keep the cutting line from coming out of the spool.
When the Bump Head Knob Assembly is hit on the ground the springs and slider will be forced up into the spool housing releasing the correct amount of cutting line.
Most of the trimmers will use two of these springs.

Always the little parts.
The little parts are what goes bad and with the rest of the related parts my weed eater is up and running like new. Should be a notice in the owners manual about these parts go bad or wear out after a while and need to be replaced.
I asked for help from your site on a contact email and got nowhere but figured it out my self by some of the mail other customers sent in from doing a wider search. All I wanted was suggested probable parts needed. All parts were great and quality and fast service for this time of year. Friendly customer service.

My Ryobi 135r Elec. Trimmer is approx. 15yrs old. I have had very few problems with it.
Repair was easy as eatin' an entire 'Chocolate Cream Pie', and just as quick.

When I took the head of the string trimmer apart, I realized the slider was bent and a small spring was missing. I had to destroy the e-clip to get it off and out of the way for the slider, so I just made sure I bought one with the order. Once I got the e-clip off, everything went into place just as the diagram shows. String trimmer runs like new. I am stoked that I was able to find these part for replacement.

Not to bad ,but the lower retaining lock washer give me a bit of trouble getting it off. Would be a ten minute job if you have the right tool to remove it. Thanks for the video on how to install it. Pete

Bump feed on string head

Tool Type
Trimmer
Difficulty
Medium
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Dry lube
Remove bump knob, removed string spool, remove E clip on shaft, remove plunger & spring.
Then remove C clip, pull out slider & 2 slider springs below it. Thoroughly clean the body of the trimmer head.
after thoroughly cleaning, spray a little dry lube on the spring & slider grooves inside the head, Install slider springs, install slider (Making sure the spring tabs on slider are over the top of the slider springs), while holding slider & springs in, attach the C clip to shaft that holds the slider in place, but lets it freely slide. Then install plunger spring & plunger. Hold plunger down while attaching the E clip onto the shaft. push plunger & watch slider move to one side, then back when plunger comes back up. Basically, verify operation. If all is good, Install spool & bump knob. Then install trimmer line as normal... Enjoy your newly repaired bump feed head that only takes a slight "bump" to feed more line! :)
