Strimmer won’t spin

[Mick]

ah right so i cant get a gear head for it then it has to be bearing housing would i be able to replace the bearing bit with the screw thread attached to it or would it all come together

I would have thought it would be an assembly.  I know we had a terrible time getting the right parts from the distributor when we sold them and they kept sending completely wrong parts. In the end we had to resort to breaking new machines to use for parts. Those machines were pretty cheap to be honest and they used to fall apart quite a lot, hence why we stopped doing them.  I would be reluctant to throw to much money at it if I'm being honest.

You need to measure it with a calliper or Vernier gauge to be accurate. Or just measure across the opening in the housing to get a rough idea.

I have no idea here to get parts for Sanli nowadays, we stopped doing them years ago.  There's a few of them machines and parts on ebay though. 

Remember, yours is what's called a bent shaft strimmer which doesn't actually have a gear head, it's just a simple bearing housing.  The straight shaft version has a gear head.  They are not interchangeable. Engine is the same though.

This is a pic of the gear housing can the bearing be removed from it and if so what's the easiest way to it and then remove the bearing without a puller don't want to give up on it just yet lol

I should imagine it would come apart, but I've not tried it so without a parts list I can't tell.  Do you have a parts list for this machine?

Me neither unfortunately.  I did find this one for a Sanli bent shaft strimmer, hopefully it should be a similar build to give you an idea of how it's put together.
