how to reattach a tuning machine

i wonder if anybody had good experience on or know how to reattach a tuning machine that has fell out of the e string section in my classical nylon string guitar and i dont know to reattach it i try to super glue it back on but bad idea and since i lost some parts to the tuning machine that fell off i want to just start fresh and replace all 6 tuning machines. My question is that is it fixable? and can it be repaired at home or do i have to send it to a shop to fix it.
looks something like this with missing e tuner.

jasonki, you should be able to get the parts you need {may have to order them} and do it yourself. if you get original replacements you can just look at the other side on your guitar to see how they go. If your uncomfortable doing it, the local shop can. As for pricing though, I have no idea.

Hi Jasonki, it would probably be best to start again and replace the machine heads, that way your set up should be ok, as x4string says you should be able to get the parts either on line or order them from your local shop probably a better bet as you need to be certain they're the right fit for your guitar, if you can avoid the really cheap ones, it will benefit you in the long run. I checked some pricing online ranges from £7 - £29+ depending on what quality your looking for, again as x4string says if you're not confident about doing it, ask your local music shop, I'm afraid I don't know what a repair charge would be, what you want to pay depends on the value of the guitar or how much the guitar means to you. Hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Chris
