Talking fixing an adjustable bridge

Hi, I have an adjustable bridge where the right side is stuck. Is there a way to loosen the one side myself?

There are many threads explaining this subject,and the events that can be triggered when you remove the bridge. If you don't have success with a search,PM me, it is a relatively painless repair.

first make sure you know if the threads are up or down. loosen the strings, protect the top with a towel or something - put small drops of pentrating oil where adjuster and bridge meet-let set for a few minutes, turn the wheel counterclock out of the bridge -don't force-can do damage- if neither this nor what Forester suggests-PM me for more ways
