how do I remove the strimmer spool to replace

The problem often is that the black head covering the spool is almost welded to the base due to dried grass and mud. Clean it out and I would suggest carefully pouring some hot water of it. Then you will be able to turn it I think anticlockwise. But the problem I have is that the replacement plastic cord ought to be a slightly higher grade(or thicker) than the one I get on line is it has an annoying habit of breaking. It is worth going to a small shop that sells everything as they are bound to have what you need

Can this spool be refilled?

Yes it can be refilled, but don't overdo it ( wind to much on the spool) or it will jam up when you require more 'cutting wire' .

Ref. my last question, I am referring to the white cover that slips over the spool and has a slot to control the cord. It is always fitted correctly

Only you can fit it correctly if it’s not on properly it will fail

Is it compatible with bosch trimmer cord 3600ha5070

I don't think so, the packaging only lists Art xx range of trimmers as compatible
