Is the shaft seated into the engine all the way and is the gearbox (where the weedeater head attaches) shoved onto the shaft far enough? There’s a set-screw holding the gearbox into place.

Did you try pushing down hard and turning @ the same time? that should do it.
SOURCE: just got new U Turn Trimmer head. It has line
push down and turn until it comes back up...now, on that spot that is all the way in, before it comes back up, pull up on it...got it ?? The release is located where the the spool is all the way down and getting the spool to "hang up" on that spot allows it to release...because it can't when running makes it a perfect location

SOURCE: How to remove trimmer head from Echo 230 SRM?
I know I'm replying to a old post, but this might help others. My Echo GT225 might be similiar. Once u are down to the thread bolt & the round shaft part that spins in ither direction, u need to thread back on the line spool, at lest the botton part of it to hold the thread bolt in place. Then start turn that rounded part that normally just spins, it will start to thread off, as you are thrreading it off you may have to also start threading the line spool part off as well at the same time. After that you will need the tool that takes off the C ring clamp thing that's underneath. I couldn't find any info on this online, I just kept on playing with it until I figured it out, UGH.

It is ridiculous, there are a bunch of bolts, and then a multi-fit brochure showing a grid of nonsense.
There are instructions on the inside of the package, however that is how to string the line.
