Default Open-Gear Waverly Tuner Question

I own a Martin D41 guitar where the press-fit knurled brass hex bushings falls off the guitar when I remove the strings. This guitar appears to be in original condition. I also don’t understand why there’s a 10 mm. bolt or nut on top of the bushings if it’s “press-fit”- would this ordinarily tighten? Martin suggests I use a bit of glue to hold them down, and string tension keeps everything in place, but I would like them to stay together.

Do I buy a new set from Stew MAC if the hole is the correct diameter?

Do I follow Martin’s advice and glue it or get a pro to glue it?

Although these tuners show Martin’s name, I assume they are Waverley’s.

Grateful for any advice,

Larry Seltzer
