How to change truss rod nut???

[Jay]

I have a fender standard strat neck and the truss rod nut is flat
How can I get it out and change it with the new one???
Please help me out
Thank you all in advance

You might try a long nosed pair of pliers, but, you will certainly have to use a litle counterpresure on the neck to loosen the grab (friction) of the nut onto the washer. Sometimes it's just plain impossible to do the job, and you have to take the whole rod out.

I was under the impression that it was an allen key that was needed on these

Yes, but if the hex key is rounded, there isn't much choice!

Hi there
What I did was using some power glue on the tip of Allen key and it worked!!!
I adjust the truss rod now to 011 set
To change the truss rod nut now I know that I have to remove the wooden ring,
Or the nut doesn't come out
