Help.....changing strings today and.....

[Brand X]

....the little black clamp that holds the B string on my Floyd is stuck The bit that as you unscrew to allend clamp - it loosens to let you pull the old string out and put the new one in). I got the string out - but it seems stuck fast now and I certainly can't get the new string in.

Tips anyone?

Cheers folks!

I have had this happen before

A small screwdriver to get in behind and in front of it to try to straighten it up.
Don't try to move it just straighten it up. If you are in any way not comfortable with what you are doing then stop. Don't "f" it up yourself.

If you need a guitar to play today then stop on by.

When you get it loose treat it with teflon spray.

If you can wait till Monday morning then give CS a call or visit a qualified tech.
I think that's really your best shots.

Yeah.. Small screwdriver or similar. I just leave a sewing needle in my gig/tool box, straighten it up no worries.
I even used a uber-tiny pair of pliers a couple of times... Don't stress it
