Arclite Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 OK, so here's the deal. I was changing my snare head and I noticed that one of the lugs wouldn't loosen as easy as the other lugs, and at a certain point, I couldn't loosen it any further. It was enough to get the new head in, but now it wont even tighten up. Any ideas on how to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 You should be able to buy a new one and change the entire lug assembly from inside the snare. If I remember correctly, mine just screw in through the shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Is it corroded? Throw some penna-traytin' ohl on there. WD-40 would work. Then clean them threads out with a bottoming tap if you can get the lug off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclite Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 well I got the lug out. it's totally stripped. I tried putting a good lug in the socket that it was stuck in, and it seems thats also stripped. so. hmm. I'm gunna try cleaning the socket, and put the lug in. If that works. Great! If it doesn't then I'll have to take off the bottom head and replace the bridge socket. Way too long of a process. Maybe I shouldn't crank my snare so tight I'm so getting a firecracker snare for my drum and bass licks. Any drummers looking for a basic 4 cymbal set up? I have a pair of 14 inch hats, 16 inch crash, and a 20 inch ride that I'm gunna sell. They came with my set, and my dad got me a Sabian B8 super set so I've never touched these cymbals BRAND NEW NEVER USED! Pearl CX(?) series Asking 75 bucks.
