And sometimes you have to fill nut holes. I've found wood glue and tooth picks work pretty well. just an FYI

I would guess... slack the strings and take off the nut is easier than removing the strings.

Correct. I didn't need to waste strings until its setup good. I live in the middle of now where and only have one set left.

You don't need to take the strings off anyway. i actually just propped the bridge up and used my hand to pull the strings up. It's all done now, I just need to find the correct locking blocks for this nut I found. The others look small. Minor detail.

tools and materials used to fill old nut holes. I used a Dremel and 6/64th drill bit for the new hole and as you can see nuts on and I need to find the locking blocks for it as the old one look small. They hold though, I'll come up with them when not searching through boxes of parts.
