Hi, I’m Mark from eReplacementParts.com. In this video I’m going to show you how to replace the exhaust gasket on a Ryobi trimmer. The exhaust gasket forms a seal between the muffler and the engine. The only time you’re going to need to replace this gasket is if you remove the muffler, at which point it’s critical to replace it, because you will destroy this gasket whenever the muffler is removed. If you don’t replace the gasket, you can have hot gasses escaping, which can melt the housings on your trimmer.

Replacing the gasket is easy to do and I’m going to show you how. Exhaust gaskets, as well as many other parts, can be found on our website. Let’s get started.

I’ll begin by removing the rear cover. Now I’ll remove the muffler. It’s held in place with two screws. Now I’ll install the muffler gasket and reinstall the muffler to the engine. And now, I will reinstall the rear cover with the air filter.

And that’s all it takes to replace the exhaust gasket on a Ryobi trimmer. If you found this video helpful, be sure to give us a thumbs-up, and leave a comment.
