You want Part Number 9407 “String Hook”. To install: Turn the tremolo over and just loosen the 2 screws that are attached to the load lever. The load lever is the part that has the springs attached to it underneath, Once loosened, completely remove the 2 screws attached to the frame. Now the cam swivels freely. Remove the 6 fine tuners, revealing the 3 phillips screws. Remove the 3 screws. Now lift out the cam cage (the part with the 6 string hooks) and l ube it liberally with WD-40 or similar. You need to drive out the pin that runs though the hooks. The pin is visible from the sides of the cam cage. Look on either side of the cam cage and look for the smaller, chipped side of the pin. It’s usually inset abit into the cage body. The other side seems flush. YOU PUSH IT OUT FROM THE INSET SIDE. insert the new hook and retap it back in flush. its fairly simple. You will need a long thin object to push with. Try using a jewelers type allen driver available at radio shack.
