Tuners Pegs Keys

How can I remove just the end keys of my guitar's tuners?

I want to remove the keys from my guitar, but not remove the entire peg. I have Grover deluxe vintage tuners that look like crap. I want to put replacement golden tips on my keys that look really cool. I don't know if i can just unattach the existing keys.

Unwind and take off your string.

On the back of the headstock, there will will a case over the gears of your tuning machines. - Unscrew it, keep the screws in a ziplock back or glass for safe keeping.

Now, remove the existing key and replace it with the new key while being sure that everything stays in the correct place.

Screw the casing back on. Your done

With some keys, you find a small screw at the end. If you cannot get the existing key out or the new key in, simply loosen this screw a bit until it does.

IMPORTANT - this method only works if you are staying within the same brands and mechanical models. The tooth spacing on the gears might be different otherwise, which will not allow the tuner to work properly if things don't match up. You can always jerry-rig things if needed, but I don't recommend it when your are dealing with hi-tension steel

Good luck!
