How to remove truss rod nut on Fender

[Shag101]

Hey Guys,

Been a while..  I just picked up this fender and am having an issue getting the neck bow correct. 
I need a more convex bow but i ran out of truss rod..
I removed the walnut cap and washer but am dumb founded as to how to get the nut out.  I loosened
it all the way so I believe it is off the rod. 

Any ideas?  I hear some are tact welded to the rod...I hope not..

What I want to do is add some washers so I get more room to adjust..

Here is a pic without walnut cap and washer.  Nut is tightened down all the way.  It only comes up the shaft 1/2 way more when unscrewed all the way.

I've never known anyone get one of the biflex rods out (I'm assuming that this is a USA made Fender)
Don't know if the nut can come off as it's a two way rod.
I would search google and Youtube to see if anyone has done suchlike

What I have often done is put a padded wedge/support under the 6-7th fret area of the neck and get a friend to lean on the body end while I pull down the headstock and tighten it just a bit more - you are doing the truss rods work for it by leaning on the neck and often you can get just an extra bit of rotation  out of the rod - just enough to hold it all in place.

USE A FRESH UNDAMAGED 1/8" ALLEN KEY TO PREVENT IT WRECKING THE ALLEN SOCKET IN THE END OF THE ROD.
Old ones tend to burr and spoil the shape of the socket

cool. I'll give it a try. Allen socket already stripped. going to have to sand a bigger key

good call. I tried your trick and it worked. I was able to
get just enough more turns to get the neck perfect. Cheers!!

Good news!
Glad it worked ... the alternative wasn't looking like fun
