To replace the rewind spring on a Stihl FS 45:
1. Remove the Starter Assembly: Unscrew and detach the starter cover from the trimmer. 2. Take Out the Old Spring: Carefully remove the broken or worn rewind spring from the housing. 3. Install the New Spring: Place the new rewind spring into the housing, ensuring it is seated correctly in the pocket. 4. Wind the Spring: Use a guiding tool or rod to help wind the spring into place without it unwinding. 5. Reassemble the Starter: Attach the rope pulley and tension the spring by winding it correctly. 6. Test the Recoil: Pull the starter rope to check if it retracts smoothly. 7. Reattach the Starter Assembly: Secure the cover back onto the trimmer.

1. Empty the fuel tank to avoid spills. 2. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to reach into the fuel tank and pull out the fuel line along with the fuel filter. 3. Remove the old fuel filter from the line. 4. Attach the new fuel filter to the fuel line. 5. Insert the fuel line with the new filter back into the tank.
No additional tools are needed if using the service kit, which includes a cardboard hook for filter removal.
