Replacing pull rope?

I have a craftsman 6.75 22" rear bag mulcher. I need to change pull rope (broke). I have taken all the pieces off, and have the rope "assembly piece" off. How do I get it apart to take out old and install new rope?

hard to describe without showing but-do what it takes to get it apart, there is a tool for winding the spring but it can be done without it. wind spring first put pull rope thru holes and attach to spring hub, release spring and let it wind rope onto hub. put back on engine and cut your grass. in right condition it's a 15minute deal.
good luck- kevin
