on the bottom of the head there are 4 screws just remove them and the head comes apart but be careful not to loose the springs from the keepers when you do it.

Don't Take It Apart!  Keep'er Simple.  I pushed the string from the "IN" side (the same direction you load fresh string) with an allen wrench (or use similar object) the same diameter as the string.  That forced the too short nubbin' far enough out the "EXIT" hole to be nabbed and pulled out.  Then, of course, in the future, I left a long enough piece stickin' out the exit to easily remove the old string.

With a shop rag and Channel Locks, turn red knob clockwise.  Then remove four screws on top of head.  Be careful when pulling out string because springs will pop out and can be hard to find.

I agree... don't take the 4 screws out. Get a piece of coat hanger or mechanics wire and push the remaining piece of string thru. Always leave enough line out of the exit hole to be able to grab it and pull out the broken piece. I carry a pair of needle nose pliers with me when I use my weed wacker. They work great for pulling the remaining string thru.
