If you buy a new string/spring assembly it should give you instructions.

All the EB's I have worked on are a bit different from the Goodrich and others far as string routing in particular is concerned. The Goodrich, Fender and sho-bud diagrams won't help you there.
I have a diagram somewhere, but can't find it at the moment. Perhaps someone else will have one.
The string routes through nearly the entire space of the inside area. They use a spring to connect the string together and keep tension on it also.
They used to have a tute and some info on their site www.ernieball.com but I don't see it now. They would also install the pot with new string, spring and a basic o'haul for a reasonble fee.
It ain't all that difficult actually... as mentioned, you just need to make notes and rewire the new pot just like the old one. Same with the string.
As I recall, the pot mount can be removed from the pedal make the installation somewhat easier.
It can be a tad tedious, but personally I find it easier than the Goodrich. JMO. Best of Luck  |

I use the Ernie Ball pedal exclusively, and I find it is much easier to remove the two philips screws for the pot mount bracket as Jerry suggests. This allows you to hook the string without having to fight the spring tension. Once the string is hooked, you pull the pot mount back into place and insert the screws.
