So I just installed new Waverly tuners on a Collings guitar to replace the Waverly tuners that were so hard to turn, especially the D and G string tuners. Well thinking the tuners might be bad, I installed new tuners without replacing the inside bushing, and although the new tuners are better, they are still tight compared to what I'm use to with Waverly on a Collings.

note: when I removed the original tuners, they moved freely without issue so the problem is not with the tuners themselves.

Is this something that Collings should address? Would like to hear if there is an easy fix of some type. I understand the removing the bushings may be not something that easy to do.
