quite easy. One note. Make sure you can see the entire top of the stud, no finish on top. If htere is, score it with a razor blade so the stud comes out clean.

Put a towel on the top so you dont marr the finish.
Put a block of some sort (wood, a tin of mints, something) on top of the towel to use as a cantilever. Grab the stud thats inserted into the insert with pliers, and pry the stud out rocking the pliers on the block. work around it in a circular fashion

boom

Dead wrong. Never use pliers. Use a clawhammer, put it in the groove on the stud, and use the towel/wood thing Max mentioned(the correct part of his post :lol: ) The hammer will allow it to be pulled out quite easily, it'll be very straight forward.

Putting them in shouldn't be too tough either. I use a drill press, but if you don't have access to that, use a hammer and a block of wood, and just tap them in, don't do crazy hits, just taps.

I dunno what the fuck clawhammer you have that fits studs that big :lol:

you shipped him the bridge that was factory installed on his guitar?

He just pointed out, the ones you shipped him are smaller than the ones it came with

I use my framing claw for pulling smaller studs too, fwiw, cause its way easier to do without damaging the old ones, but ive never had luck pulling tonepros studs with a clawhammer

anyways though, drews method seems by far the most elegant :lol:
