How to Remove a Black & Decker Trimmer Replacement Spool
The replacement spool inside a Black & Decker trimmer holds the line, which slices the weeds around your property. When you cut tall or thick weeds, or trim in muddy or dirty areas, the line on the spool can get clogged or jammed. When this happens, you won't be able to eject more line. You will need to remove the replacement spool and either clean it or replace it if it's damaged. Does this Spark an idea?
