Remove screws from the side of the clutch cover

Insert a flatblade screwdriver into the crack at the bottom of the clutch cover and pry it open while removing the trimmer boom

Unplug the spark plug wire

Remove the screws that hold the bottom cover on

Remove the bottom cover. This cover is sandwiched between the front and back covers, so you will have to pull and jiggle it to get it off.

If you have any questions or run into any problems while taking the trimmer apart, post them. When you have it apart, inspect the blower housing/crank assembly for any problems. Post pictures of it too. If you need help getting it back together after the repair, I have taken pictures for that also. I will keep checking this thread until your repair is completed.

Just curious, before taking it apart, am I going to need a new rope even though the rope is not broken?
