[mlfloyd]

Is there a special tool or method for re-securing the balance jewel Incabloc shock spring?

I'll look for the tool on the web. 

 

Thank you both for responding so quickly.

I just made a wooden one with a toothpick. Although I haven't used it to re-install a jewel keeper yet, it does seem to work quite easily when just moving the keeper around on an old movement shock jewel. Didn't take but a few minutes to carve it out.

Just for information, that's a etachock spring not inca bloc, good luck.

Just thought I'd mention that I just got around to re-installing that Novadiac spring in a movement I was working on. After trying for several hours with no joy before, it took me less than 30 seconds to install it with my toothpick tool.

 

Thanks Ssteel for that tip.
