anyone have a 7" toro electric trimmer?

It wont seem to come off. I pushed it in and turned it but it wont pop out. Anyone know how to get these off?

TIA

Usually the whole thing doesn't come off - just a cap and you drop in the new line.

Yea, i got the new cap and i see what needs to come out but I dont see if there is something I need to push in to release it or what.

Removing the spool:
Twist the cap off counterclockwise.
Remove the cap and spool. (Note: If spring falls out, install before replacing spool.)
Clean the cutting head and cap. Inspect them for any damage or worn parts.

Rewinding the spool: (Note: If you are replacing the spool with a new, pre-wound spool, discard the empty spool and skip this section.)
Remove any cutting line left on the spool.
Hook one end of the line all the way into the slot on the spool, allowing no more than 1/8 inch to (3mm) to protrude.
Wind the line in the direction of the arrow on the spool, in level rows, between the spool flanges. (note: The trimmer will not function correctly if you wind the line in the wrong direction, the end of the line protrude more than 1/8 inch or you wind more than 30 ft of line on the spool.

Installing the Spool:
Holding the line and spool, insert the spool into the cutting head and the line into the eyelet.
Holding the line and spool, place the cap over the spool.
Twist the cap on securely by turning clockwise.
