If its the complete pulley inc cord it should just be a case of replacing the new for the old. (socket set or spanners) If its just the cord its a little bit more involved but not something that's hard to do. AS MOST THINGS ARE PLASTIC NOW A DAYS - DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THINGS. You don't mention what make of Mower it is. All makes will be different some way or another. Easiest thing to do is have a look on you tube. Lots of excellent short videos on there showing you what's what. Basically if it just the cord its a case of removing the outer cover, then the pully itself. Pull the cord out to its full length, stop the pully from retracting with something (screwdriver). cut the original cord - replace with new. If the Mower is New I'd be asking what was the cause of the problem. Edited June 17, 2020 by Rockers rule additional info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
max 13 #3 Posted June 17, 2020 If it's still under guarantee then I'd suggest contacting the company from where you bought it. They should be able to give you detailed instructions or, preferably, arrange for an engineer to fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
