Guitar tuner does not wind or tighten string | Broken guitar & bass tuning peg repair

[@TheRockAvenger]

I followed every step but sadly it didn't work 😢the string just keeps getting loose after a few turns. Looks like a need a new peg. Great video anyway!

[@youbeedoob1]

Thank you so much. I had no idea that the tuners could be disassembled like this. I feel silly that I have wasted so much money over the years replacing tuners when I could have just repaired them.

Thankyou brother, i feel good for the first time in my life after fixing and following your instructions❤

[@meraappaiah1441]

Thank you, I resolved my guitar tuning problem by seeing your video, thank you very much

[@anthonyaxtens5849]

Thanks, I'm so glad I was able to fix my guitar by following your super clear video! Before I found it, I was fairly close to trashing my guitar 😂

Great vid, i have a german made warwick corvette and my tuner free wheeled, i used your vid to take the tuner apart (great hack getting the cap off) and realised that it wasn’t salvageable as the screw had sheered its thread. But I was able to replace it with another one and replace the cap. Instead of superglue which is a difficult chemical as its made some metals become white and powdered once dry, I used semi permanent thread lock (blue) and that has secured it with no mess and hopefully will be easier to pop the cap off in a few years time… thx again!

Oh my goodness! Thank you for your video! I thought I was going to have to make a 65 mile trip to get this fixed! (I live in a rural part of my state). Your video saved me the time,money and gas to travel. Bless you!

I need this but for epiphone or gibson sg tuners

[@projectmilzock]

Is this the same fix for an classical guitar?

[@BrotherBrownMusic]

As this will probably also work on guitar tuners, I'll start by saying thank you for a great video and ask what stuff you would use to remove gunk from inside/outside a tuner?

[@Wrigglyaudio]

Thanks! I have done this same fix on a guitar tuner, so should work if you're having this issue. But hm ... what sort of gunk are we talking?

[@BrotherBrownMusic]

@@Wrigglyaudio Thank you for quick reply! It's mostly old oil/lube inside and dirt from playing on the outside.

[@Wrigglyaudio]

@@BrotherBrownMusic Fair warning, I'm totally guessing here. 🤔 But I'd start with something mild, like dish soap and water. Dry it well - maybe even hit it with a hair dryer in case of any leftover water, which maybe could lead to rust depending on the tuner. For stickier oils and glues, I usually have luck with Goo Gone. The bottle I have does leave a light oily film. But it usually makes quick work of tougher gunkier stuff.

Thanks. I think my 20yr old Soundgear peg broke entirely but this is great info how to replace it.

[@RodrigoDLM]

Great, at first I thought mine was broken 😅

[@everready19373]

A tiny bit of locktite on that screw would prevent it from happening again.

[@svisty4166]

thank you so much this is the exact type of tuner my bass has and i couldn’t find any other videos to fix it

[@akalamoalkr3]

Thx man it work no need to buy a new one❤

[@adamfinn3760]

Awesome video! Much help, Much thanks!!

[@Brianxboss]

Thank you sir

[@leemoliam8306]

Thank you - fixed in a jiffy

[@ghostmodern-h9h]

i love you

[@iCassieeLeighh]

Great video ! However my cap just won’t come off, no matter how hard I hit it, nor will the gear actually come out of the main component no matter how hard it pull or twist. Any tips? Or is it time to just buy a replacement tuner alltogether?

[@Wrigglyaudio]

Thanks! And bummer. 🙁 Maybe it's sealed. (Or maybe someone else watching this will have a tip.) But it's also a good excuse to buy some fancy locking or auto tuners. 🙂

[@thereubenator7947]

mines not coming off either but theres lots on amazon that are quite cheap

[@tikaal]

i managed to get mine off by heating it a bit with a blowdryer and hitting it like in this video

[@LOTPOR0402]

Better idea use some locktite and do all of them

[@thejaayz1594]

yah got it all is that i don't have screw and that one more tool is any one like me?

[@randycreasi]

SNUG UP

[@ABX-KRS]

Oh man the teeth of that gear is broken in my guitar

[@sant0sh01]

[@sabahezron9988]
