i have a few questions. first how do you remove the trem arm and what is needed? second there is a sllen screw in the trem cavity that moves with the bar, what does this do? there is also a regular nut just under the bridge plate beneath the arm just on top of the body, what does this do? thanks for any help guys. i wanna get the arm out and bend it slightly so it just a tad lower to the body but if i can change how far the bar goes in i will do that. it may not be all the way in and why the one screw turns with the arm is beyond me lol.

The allen screw on the bottom, in the trem cavity is what you need to remove the arm. I forget what size it is, but you know my work email so hit me up tomorrow and I will give you the exact size. It is the same size as the wrench used to clamp the strings on the nut.

The set screw on the side of the trem adjusts the tension on the bar. If you want it to swing freely, loosen. But not too much. It is a really short screw and if it falls on the carpet etc. You will NEVER find it.

If I remember right they are 3mm.

i dunno whether this will answer your question - For what it's worth, here's a small clip of the trem being removed from my AL
