I have a Kramer with a Floyd. I usually change one string at a time but today I took all the strings off for a good cleaning. As usual, I stuck a toothbrush under the Floyd to keep it in place while I restrung. Was polishing and knocked the &^%$# Floyd right off the poles. Luckily it went back into place without the screws moving (which I guess could happen) and all was good. Scared the $%^& out of me for a few minutes - I was leaving open the option of having it set up again...which I do every couple years anyway...
 
Shouldn't be a problem if the posts didn't get moved--I've had this happen a few times, and no worse for the slippage.

If it really screwed things up, somebody would be selling a magic tool for the job.
