Toro (15") Electric String Trimmer

I have only used my trimmer 5 or 6 times. So far, the line feed doesn't work, and needs to be dismantled every time I use it to clear the feed mechanism. The feed eyelet for the string has fallen out somewhere in the yard (forget about finding it) and I'm trying to pull the head assembly to replace the string with a universal blade kit. This thing is a piece of inferior junk. I've always had an excellent mechanical aptitude and have rebuilt car and motorcycle engines. Yet, I can't even figure out how to pull the entire head assembly on this trash pile to install the blades and the manual doesn't say how to do it. I think using a pair of scissors around my yard would be better than this trimmer.
