Answer
 Hello Bart:

 Im sorry I misunderstood what you were asking in your last emaail. When the Housing and Shaft Assembly seperated,
look inside the Housing and you should see a small bolt.  Remove this bolt. 8mm or 5/16" socket fits this bolt. Carefilly remove the Rope pulley from housing. Watch out for the Rewind Spring when removing this pulley. Remove any old cord. Reinstall the pulley. Wind the pulley until spring is tight then back up 1 full turn. Thread the new cord into the hole in the starter pulley and through the housing. Put the Handle on the new cord and re-Assemble. That should be it.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
