Disassembly Procedure
1. After removing the rewind assembly from the engine
blower housing, release the tension on the rewind
spring. This can be done by removing the starter
handle and carefully allowing the rope to unwind in
the starter housing assembly.
2. Place a 1" (25 mm) deep well socket under the
retainer. Set the rewind on a bench, supported
on the socket.
3. Use a 5/16" (7.938 mm) or 1/4" (6.35 mm) (for
stamped steel) roll pin punch to drive out the center
pin. The stamped steel center pin is driven out
from the top, inside the center hole. Move the punch
around while driving the pin to help keep the pin
straight.
CAUTION: THIS REWIND SPRING IS NOT
SECURED IN A CANISTER. PULLEY BOSSES
HOLD THE REWIND SPRING AND COVER, AND
CAN BE EASILY DISLODGED DURING
HANDLING.
