I want to change some visual details in my strat, and while browsing on the online shop i usually use, i found this:

Fender Strat Accessory kit - Black

The pickup covers and the volume and tone knobs are easy to replace...

But how do i replace the tremolo head and the pickup selector switch head? :?
The accessory kit includes those two little heads to replace...

The switch tip will just pull off.
The trem arm tip you need to untwist. Sometimes a rag put over it and grabbing it with a pair of pliers is the only way to get it to twist off.

You can also try gently heating the trem head with a blow dryer before you pull it off.

Also try using a pair of vice grips to hold the trem arm and put a rag on the arm first so you don't rip into it and leave sharp points.
