To rewire the spool for Benchmark part number 5073-039, follow these steps:

1. Remove all packaging from the replacement spool.
2. Pull the loose ends of the trimmer lines out of the retaining slots in the spool.
- Make sure the lines are in the notches on each side of the spool to prevent unwinding.
3. Unwind about 5" (12.7 cm) of line from the spool.
4. Thread the loose ends through the eyelets in the spool housing.
5. While gently pulling on the lines, slide the spool onto the housing spindle fully.
6. Insert the locking buttons of the spool cap into the spool housing.
7. Press the spool cap until the locking buttons click into place.
8. Bump the trimmer to advance the line as needed.
