My 3rd guitar never gave me any problems with popping, but my 4th gave me some popping issues.  I put on safety glasses and just held the pins in while turning the pegs.  After the strings were tight, the pins stayed in, I guess due to the tension and angle.

Before the first string change, what i did was to  go slowly, rehearsing several times before the main event.  In other words, I practiced before making the actual change.  The information available on the net is invaluable, especially the pictoral information.

Let us know how the change came out.

Enjoy the day

If you're just curious about what things look like inside the guitar, check the photos here:
