I have a 1998 MIM Nashville I just bought that the truss rod nut cracks pretty loud when initially adjusting it either way. If you loosen it an 1/8 turn it takes a bit of force, cracks, then will move . If I stop and go to move it again it does it again. This is with most of the tension off the neck. I'm assuming it's because it most likely hasn't been used in ages. I'd like to remove it if I can and put some white lithium or wax on it to maybe help.

My question is do you have to remove the black phenolic plug on these necks in order to remove the nut? It looks like no, but it'd be a tight fit.

I was able to remove the nut. It was completely coated in glue. After it loosened all the way I had to use some needle nose pliers in reverse to grasp the nut and pull it out. Buffed it to a shine and it easily fell back in.
