Remove the knob and tight the nut around the pot shaft

Just a word of caution. Don't let the loosened pot shaft turn while you are tightening the securing nut. If the entire pot turns, you can run the risk of breaking the wires attached to the terminals on the pot inside the control bay.

doodz- I always do stuff the not easy way- I'll loosen the strings- put a rag under the strings so they don't scratch the p guard then I take the screws out of the p guard- pull it up -- grab the pot and hold it in place and tighten the nut. Then I put everything back the way it wuz. Thank you
