Removing datewheel from 2836-2?

[RickFlorida]

Hello everyone.  I purchased a newer version of the Josh 5513 but was too much of a newbie and only ordered the 2813 movement version.  Since I want to build a Tudor replica I will need to install a 2836-2 to go with the Yuki dial and ETA hands.

I'm a little confused on how to remove a dial on a 2836-2 since I now have to buy a new movement and they always come with a datewheel.

I also now have to find the brass spacer ring that comes with the 2836-2 version.

 

I would appreciate any advice.

No need to remove the datewheel. It can hide under the dial with no problems.

Ah, I thought maybe that was true.  Thank you.    My thought is that I am assuming the 2836 that is installed int he josh cartel 5513 may have it removed and thus the spacer lines things up when it's removed.     But even if that's the case, I could just shave the spacer if needed. 

 

Thanks for the advice.  Once I have all my parts it will probably seem easier.

Stem alignment is what you need to get right.
