[QUOTE="Razorback, post: 213133, member: 6263"] It's not hard at at all. Just remove the center bolt of the starter assembly and remove the whole unit. Be careful to not separate the pieces, or the spring will come flying out at you. Wind the new rope around the spool and replace the assembly. You can possibly do this without even removing the assembly, but I can't remember for sure. Then run the line through the hole in the motor housing. Put the handle on the rope. Pull enough rope out so that there is a good amount of tension on the recoil spring and tie a knot in it. Then cut off the excess rope. He's right though, if you're just wanting to do a compression test on it before you buy, then there are notches on the flywheel also. It's a backup in case the recoil assembly breaks. Just tie a knot in the end of a piece of rope. Put it in a notch. Wrap it around the flywheel about 3 times, and give a good pull. Don't let the rope hit you in the face when it comes flying off the flywheel. [/QUOTE]
