For S10 Pull-Release.

1. I have a hex tuning wrench for the pedals but it doesn't seem to work on the circular nylon pegs. What else can I use ?

2.Need to tune my 4th string (E) to +F on RKL. Turn peg clockwise or counter clockwise? Anything I should watch for underneath when I turn the peg?

Thank you for your time and help. Very much appreciate it.

I'd say if the nylon "pegs" are round that they're worn out and need to be replaced. There available in several places.

You may need to go underneath to tune levers that lower.. What brand S10? Pictures of changer, and KL linkage would be helpful.

Gary, it will be better if you post them here so there may be someone that has had the same problem, and found a fix.

Gary, The bottom nylon takes a 3/16" hex, the top looks like a 1/4", if
you have a set of nutdrivers, try the 3/16" on the bottom.
As you know pedals down (engaged) tune keys, pedals up, tune screws, I will post the
picture for you. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...it's been a while siece I've owened a pull/release.
