Help! How to remove whammy bar from Sterling LK100D

Hey everybody,

I recently purchased a Sterling LK100D, I attached the whammy bar and I'm not sure how to remove it. Can someone help me out?

Cheers

The tremolo arm is a push in, pull out style. You might need to loosen the arm tension screw.
See my pics here to explain where the two adjustment screws are located for the tremolo arm:

Notice the 1.5mm screw located on the upper right of the tremolo block.
This adjusts the tension of the arm. Perhaps it needs to be backed out a bit to loosen the arm. The arm should just pull up and out with a very slight amount of resistance.


Notice again a 1.5mm screw located on the underside/string loading side of the tremolo block.
This adjusts the height of the tremolo arm. You can turn this clockwise to assist pushing the arm out of the tremolo if it is still a tad tight even after loosening the adjustment screw I mention above that sets the arm tension.


I hope that this helps! If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to me directly at: [email protected]
