How do you change the strings on rs502t?

Can you tell me which, if any, modifications are typically necessary when changing to a lighter gauge (let's say from 10s to 9.5 or 9s) on a Yamaha Revstar RS502? I'm just wondering if there are any bridge modifications or, in particular, truss rods adjustments necessary. Thanks!

Changing the strings on the wrap around bridge is not as easy as this video shows!!! I just changed strings on my RevStar802 and boy, that was frustrating!

On the bottom side of the bridge, there is nothing to guide the strings between the "entering" hole and the "exiting" hole so, many times, the string comes out under the bridge and NOT through the exit hole. Even when bending the string as the video shows, it's still a bit tricky to get the string to come out the exit hole. Maybe I just need more practice....:-P

Anyway, if anyone has figured out how to change strings on the wrap around bridge easily, please post here!!

Thanks!
