Removing the String Mount Bracket on K&K Pickups

Just follow these easy step-by-step directions to remove the bracket. Preferred tools required for the job are a pair of pliers and an adjustable wrench.
- Use the pliers to unscrew the outer ring from the jack. (figure A)Under the outer ring is a regular nut. Use the adjustable wrench (or a box wrench) to remove this nut. (figure B)
- Using a cloth to protect the ring from getting marked up by the teeth on the pliers is recommended.
- Note that K&K applies "ThreadLok" to the threads. It may take some extra "elbow grease" to break the seal; once you do, it's easy going to get it the rest of the way off.
- Hold the jack firmly by the metal portion of the jack, not the bracket or the plastic wrap (the black outer wrap may slip; it's just shrink-tubing and is not glued on).
- Once removed, the bracket portion simply comes off.
- Reinstall the nut and outer ring, and you're done! (figure C)
As you can see, it's simple to modify the jack to accommodate the Docking Station - and it's also easy to reinstall the bracket if you need to - simply reverse the steps.
