releasing tension on 2836-2 mainspring?

Is there a simple way to do this?...instructions with or without pix are welcome...

have a look mate

Hey Andy...thanks...

Do I manually move the lever, while letting the crown unwind?

I assume the "remove next" on the screws is to remove the top bridge, right?

Correct on both counts, if you wind the crown the pin will move out of the teath you can then hold it back with a sharp bit of peg wood while the power runs off

[hackR]

as always, you rock, Andy!...

much thanks...R
