My 1989 Gibson Chet Atkins SST came stock with Grover Mini Rotomatics. While recently replacing the strings, I noticed the nut on the A-String tuner was loose. I tried tightening it however it just spun endlessly and wouldn’t tighten. I thought the nut for that tuner might be stripped and I would need to buy a new set of tuners so I could replace just the A-String tuner. I attempted to unscrew the nut and remove the tuner, however the nut spun endlessly and I wasn’t able to pull it away from the tuner body. I called the Grover company and they suggested cutting the tuner away with a hacksaw. Does anyone know of an alternative to hacksawing off the tuner?
