How to remove a grommet from your guitar peg head without the proper tools (aka I'm too cheap to buy the right tool)
- Make a cardboard template that will protect the face of the headstock with a hole cut out the size of the grommet.
- Place the template over the grommet.
- Get two wrenches and tape them together so that the holes line up. Place the wrenches over the cardboard and line it up so the grommet is in the center of the wrench holes.
- Find a bolt slightly smaller than the tuning peg hole and put a plastic or rubber washer on it. Insert the bolt into the tuning hole from the bottom.
- Using a grip vise, place it over the wrench ends and the bolt. Slowly press the vise until...
- The grommet pops out!
- The grommet is successfully removed! Onto the next project!
