I installed these to Harley Benton ST-62 and it was an easy swap, no drilling or reaming needed, just remove the screws, swap the tuners and put screws back. Compared to the original tuners these feel orders of magnitude better. Tuning is more precise and holds better and swapping strings is very easy. You can tighten the string with 5 eurocent coin which is also a downside, I would prefer using some real tool like screwdriver, but the gap is slightly too wide for that. Also I prefer closed type tuners to these because these produce some resonance by vibrating against the metal ferrule. But all in all, a very recommended upgrade for vintage style tuners with ~8mm holes.
