The drive gear on my McCulloch has stripped all the teeth. Does anyone know how to remove it from the plastic housing. There is a metal "cup" on the other end but I can't tell how it's attached

start from the bottom, where the blade is. remove the four/five screws. carefully remove all parts. i have had to change this part at least three times. it must be designed to break when say you hit a wire fence etc.

allen key required to remove gear. replace. now grease allparts with a high melting point type grease as anything will melt in less than a minute.
