<p>Yes Scott I know about the plugs , thanks . I ended up drilling through the skunk stripe at the anchor , and right through the rod , then a small hole in butt end so I could poke out the rod . Fender don't sell a rod so I used one that I had , the old rod was peened into the anchor so I drilled out the remains of it and ran the new rod straight through the anchor , the new anchor was routed into the butt of the neck . All worked fine , with no special tools .…</p>

<p>Len,</p>
<p>That washer WILL come out. You just have to persuade it properly. I ran into the same issue and solved it by using a 1/16"-wide micro-dogleg chisel. I just went around the circumference of the hole and created a very little more clearance for the washer. Once I was sure I had enough, I used a 1/16" drift (punch) and beat the daylights out of the washer, rocking it from side to side until it popped free.
