A few weeks ago there was a thread on replacing strings, and comments were made about prewinding the three coils and then slipping them on the pin. Someone gave a number as to how far to back out the pin before slipping the coils on the pin. I've used the www search page (great tool!) to try and find that number, but I couldn't find it. So, my question is, when prewinding the coils, how far should I mack out the pin? Of course, it depends on how loose the coils are on the pin, so comments about that in connection with the fractional part of the turn will be appreciated. /Allen Leigh South Jordan, Utah
