Toadtorrent Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Little stubby pin tools, right? Two to a pack? I use one springbar tool with a small 1 or 2mm forked springbar tip...plus another springbar tool with the pin pusher tip... use the forked end to pop the springbar out of a lug hole on one sidewith the springbar out, pop the second tool in to plug the hole (or toothpick) so it doesn't pop back instick in the forked tool on the other side and you're good to go with the toothpick and stuff sticking up and needing to use a small tipped tool preferably with two hands, it's like performing open-heart on a cockroach.

vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Found where to press but the pin is not coming all the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 once it is a couple of mm out of centre you can tap it out with a hammer and drift, i have found a few tight ones because of dirt and crap on the pins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yes, I was able to get it out several mm but just tried to pull it out with my fingers. I am all thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Success! Thanks for all the help. A little rock n roll lube helps with the pin re-entry. Now if I could get the bracelet off the watch I will give it the same lubrication treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Getting the bracelet off is actually the fun part. Let us know how it goes and post pics once you get the new strap mounted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
