How to Fix Recoil Spring the Easy Way | Husqvarna Trimmer Weed Eater

I've tried a few methods on KZbin, but didn't work, so I figured out a very simple way to rewind the coil spring on my Husqvarna weed trimmer myself. VERY simple. This should work on ANY coil spring.
Flat spiral springs are also known as spiral torsion, clock springs or brush springs. They are characterized by the requirement that the coil contact is minimized during operation. Springs are designed to customer requirements and are used in the automotive, medical, industrial and office equipment markets.

Took me 3years yo find you and it was worth it

Thank you 👍🏻 My grip wasn't/isn't quite as strong as yours But... My lake/river fishing magnet 🧲 worked excellent to hold it while I wound it up 😁 Thank you so much I've been struggling with this one since 2-4-24 (today is the 28th of April 2024)

That's a good technique but I found it easier to place the hook in the spool slot & then wind the spring inside the spool. There is a raised rim on the outer edge of the spool that will keep the spring from uncoiling. Like in your method. the spring will fight you as it gets tighter but go slow & it only takes about a minute or two.

That didn't work for me. To each his own. The glove really helped.

I don't have the same Husqvarna mine just says Husqvarna professional my recoil is totally different I can't recoil this is really hard and annoying i have literally tried everything

[@elizamae1000]

The glove might do the trick for me because my finger and thumb have had enough

[@HewnfromtheMountain]

Yes, it worked perfectly for me the first time, then I took it apart to do it again for the video and my thumb gave out, so I discovered the glove trick. Hope you has success.

@@HewnfromtheMountain Thank you so much I got it back on today works great

The other spring I’m struggling with

[@Stephen_Strange]

The wife tried to start it up today, wouldn't start and then the line stopped , locked. Maybe the coil got broke.

[@njd2342]

There's me thinking I was a numpty not being able to rewind my coil. Maybe I need a special tool I thought. Now I'll just put a glove on and have another go.

[@HewnfromtheMountain]

Got to get it done!

@@HewnfromtheMountain Well I tried and it worked for a short while so I took into the dealer and apparently there was only one guy in their maintenance team who had the knack. Needs practice...
