40 Volt Black & Decker Trimmer Disassemble

I accidentally got too close to a frayed carpet and a piece wound up in the spool. After failed attempts at unravelling it, I realized I needed to take the housing apart to remove the last piece. Here's how...

Thank you so much! You were kind enough to post this while many of us would have just fixed it and gone about their project. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do this.

aI concur - great video! I got it tangled in old electric fencing and figured it was ruined but thanks to your instructions it is back in operation. Thank you!

[@gabriellaflori3064]

Thank you for making this video. It made me sure what direction to take. Blessings.

[@darrellderochier]

Just what I needed! I got a metal line wrapped around the axle and thought I might have to replace the whole trimmer. Your step-by-step video gave me the confidence to disassemble my trimmer and fix it myself. Thank you!

Bro thank you so much. You helped me for my first every disassembling and reassembling my first electric trimmer. Had a fence wire hidden in the grass that tangled my trimmer

Thank you, you are so kind 😊

[@tovegranli92]

Thank you 🙏 not many vidoes on how to fix this!

[@CraigFranklinmusic]

Thank you. I had the same issue on a slightly different B&D trimmer. Success!

[@elizabetheadie7028]

Thanks for the video - I also thought that this was going to be harder than it was!

[@MarloMitchell]

Thank you, this really helped me out.

Thanks just what I needed appreciate the info

This was SUPER helpful. I got this 2nd hand for free knowing it wouldn't turn. Took forever to find a video of this model so thank you for making it! The only thing I wish I could've seen where you took all the torx bolts from. I missed the 2 bottom ones closest to where the string goes. I couldn't see them because the holes were filled with hardened gunk. I thought i counted the number of bolts you took out but I guess I missed 2. I tore the casing up trying to pry it apart. SMH. Just waiting on a t15 extender to finish up.

Thank you Olga! I'll remember details on my next video.

[@iamtek407]

I had the exact same issue. I honestly believe some came with 2 extra screws because I also counted the screws he removed

[@youcanringmymel]

Lame here ✋ After I've cleaned the guard, etc., can I wipe the guard w/ Armor All to protect the plastic?

[@izwe794]

Mine is having an issue where the housing refuses to separate. Perhaps its part of the jam. Maybe age has bound the two together.

[@craigwilliams5026]

Just what I needed. Thanks. Unfortunately, mine was not fixable. The plastic gear fused itself to the housing so I junked it. A new one without battery is only $48 so....

[@mart66]

Where did you get the new one without battery? Thanks!

[@craigwilliams5026]

@@mart66 Apparently, I didn't. The company's web site is still up and they're still taking orders, but they don't respond to email and their phone is disconnected. Found the Amazon one for $109 with a battery. Calling my credit card company to put a hold on the purchase.

[@tracenixon5487]

Where do you find one for 48 cheapest I found is 76 without battery

[@karolyndudley7888]

Than you for this video

[@jamesalles139]

thanks

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

So, i guess there is no way to put a brush blade on it, especially easily...?...Thanks....

[@robertm5969]

I have the same need and it looks like this weed eater just won't accept brush blades. No way to take off the line spindle
