Need help with 5th string tuning peg

Saturday, March 10, 2012

I inherited a 5-string Hondo banjo from my father-in-law and it was in decent shape.  It sat in my closet for a few years and now I have finally decided to get it in good shape and learn to play it.  I have replaced the head and the 4 upper tuning keys and when I tried to get the 5th-string tuning peg out to replace it I had no luck.  I tried to remove the screw and it wouldn't come out and now it just turns freely.  The key will still hold a little but it won't hold the tuning.  The set of keys that I got from Amazon had the 5th key in it.  Can anyone tell me how to remove it and install the new one.

Learned to play piano as a child, guitar as a teenager, took up playing the bass and never looked back. I now play bass in the praise band at church.
