Shindaiwa repair Q

[Tink]

On most string trimmers you will see a small hole on the shaft side of the string hub above your string cartridge. If you put a nail in the hole, and rotate the string cartridge until the nail drops and "holds" the string head from turning, then you have "locked" the shaft, and can now unthread the string cartridge from the trimmer without having your "string" unravel everywhere and cause frustration.
Complete your repair, then re assemble.
Hope this helps!
