3717 Bracelet Endlink Removal

[dluddy]

Any tips on getting the endlins off? I am using a Bergeron Springbar tool and am finding it impossible to get the springbars out?

Any tips out there?

you need to depress the little button in the middle of the link, then push the pin through the bracelet. i found some links were easier to remove than others...

Thanks. I'm OK with the link removal. I am talking about the End Links with the Springbar. I am trying to remove them to install a Kavlar strap.

When I did mine I found that the end links fit very tight in the case (well done, nice to see a rep with such a close tolerance). Pull back one spring bar and wiggle the end link. Once the spring bar is out of one side, do the same with the other side. Once both sides of the spring bars are out of the case you can pull the link straight out. I removed my bracelet and then tried on a few straps and went back to the bracelet again.

It took me half an hour to get the band off. Now the watch simply resides on the bracelet (until my Hktan pilot strap arrives).
