I would add, loosen All strings first, before tapping in the temporary axle. And if needed, loosen the return springs a bit as well.Eric Dahlhoff wrote:Bruce,
You should be able to pull the single finger out of the changer. Just tap in a rod of the same diameter as the axle and support the other 9 fingers while you pull that one out. Using lots of lube helps. Keep all the other strings on.
Good luck!
Once you get in step with having the temp axle in along with the main axle and off-setting them to be able to sneak a finger out, I would replace the offending finger with one you are not using to raise or lower a string, perhaps string 7?
That should get you up and running. Also remember, improperly adjusted return springs can also somewhat affect raises along with the lowers that they return.
