    I just removed the broken cable and replaced it with the new one. It took a little while to hook the new spring on the control

    Used the part blowup diagram to take apart and put back together again. Took a little bit of trial and error...but not terribly difficult. You will need a retaining ring plier. A cheap pair from harbor freight will be fine.

    Pretty straight forward. The smaller spring was a little difficult because of the size of my hands.

    Drive control and return spring broke. The drive control cable got tangled up in the V-belt and motor. The trimmer was not able to spin.

    1. Disconnect the old drive control cable from the trimmer head control bar.
    2. Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic clip holding the drive control cable on the upper handle.
    3. Use pliers to pinch plastic clip on drive control cable connected to the chassis.
    4. Remove control cable from unit.
    5. Follow 1-4 in reverse to install new drive control cable.
    6. Tilt the trimmer at a 45 degree angle so I could access below the chassis where the return spring and drive control connects to the idler assembly.
    7. Connect the drive control spring to the idler assembly.
    8. Remove damaged return spring (idler spring) from the idler assembly.
    9. Install new idler spring to the idler assembly.
    10. I had a missing chassis cover screw that I added as well.
    11. I referred to online instruction manuals for reference.
    12. Current V-belt was still good, ordered new one as backup.

    22" two wheels trimmer - if the return spring fails as mine, the trimmer behaves same as if the belt fails, the engine turns but the trimmer head don't.

    For a 22" Craftsman trimmer..
    1. Remove the front trimmer head plastic cover by removing a torx bolt located in the front upper side of head. Unclip the back side by pulling up the cover. A flat screwdriver may help.
    2. Remove the lower plastic cover ( two side 8mm + two 10mm under the cover).
    3. Remove the trimmer head by removing four 10mm side bolts.
    4. Remove the two idler pulleys just if you will replace the belt by a new one as in my case. Sockets and open wrench should be used.
    5. Remove the failed return spring from the idlers assy and/or from the side body opening hook.
    6. Install the new return spring.
    7. Reinstall belt, pulleys, trimmer head and remaining parts...
    God bless you...
