Williams tuners lockdown nut size?

John Poston · From: Albuquerque, NM, USA

I have a jammed tuner on my William's string 10. Hard to get in there to replace- what size is this nut? Seems my 3/8 is too small and 7/16 is too big.

My metric ratchets aren't deep enough to try.

Any other tool recommendations?

10mm most likely....common size for tuning machines. I have a set of old craftsman ignition wrenches that works on those nuts.

Thanks Jerry, makes sense I guess. I'll see if there's anything friendly for tight spots at the hardware store in a bit.

I added to my first post that those craftsman ignition wrenches work good on those nuts. You'll need the box end 10mm as I recall. I think Lowes has them.

I got these from Stew Mac and use them specifically for tuners. Yes, 10mm on my Williams. They get into the tight spot better than anything else I've got on hand.

Found a 10mm box end that worked.

Jon, I came back to post that exact same link, those look very handy and am going to be pickup up a set!

Thanks.
