Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
You can tighten it by holding it from turning with a standard screwdriver stuck in the hole. The same screwdriver can be used to tighten the contact by pulling it back towards center.
If you really want to pull it out, loosen the nut and fashion tools from a coat hanger to remove it through the center of the f-hole.
