This Echo device has an included multi-tool with a T30 Torx screwdriver, but any T30 Torx driver is compatible.
Use a T30 Torx driver to remove the locating screw from the gear case.
Use a T30 Torx driver to loosen, but not remove, the collar screw securing the main shaft to the gear case.

Wear gloves when handling and greasing the flex shaft.

During reassembly, push the flex shaft into the shaft housing. Spin the flex shaft until the square head seats itself into the clutch fitting.
