    You honestly don’t need one, just keep turning the peg right to tighten it. The peg winder kind of speeds up the winding process. I’m no expert at guitar and replacing but I tried winding it right and i saw the same results as what he is doing, but just slower. I hope this helps you and feel free to criticize if what I typed did not help. Good day to you sir. :)

    You don’t need a peg winder, take some pliers and be careful.

    You can push the bridge pins(peg) from the sound hole with a wood plank or a pen or ur hand

    I USED A BUTTER KNIFE FOR MY PEG WINDER.
    guys. you have to be more recourceful. IF YOU’RE CREATIVE ENOUGH TO PLAY THE GUITAR YOU CAN FIND OTHER THINGS TO USE BESIDES A PEG WINDER.

    have a strong thumb and forefinger and think happy thoughts. ha! Actually, I saw one tutorial tell you put three fingers between the string and fret, with your ring finger on the frets and the pointer finger under the string, then pull the string through until it is taut on top of your pointer and then that way you have slack but you don’t have to twist for forever.

    Use your hand to unwind the peg or you can pull the little knob on the bridge and it should come out. That’s what I did and it worked. :)
