do you press into the levers to remove dial feet ?

& do some rep doals come with to short dial feet ?

I'm waiting for a new EVO dial so I also would love to have some info about removing the dial. How do the clamps look like and how do I release them? (pics?)

I searched the entire forum and read almost all of The Zigmeister's posts but I'm not able to find any info on the matter.

Thanks!

PS: Wat's the best way to install the hands after the dial swap? I've read that there are tools out there that easily scratch the hands...

if your evo has an asian movement in it , then i think the dial feet are held down by 2 screws, simple to remove .. on the other hand the eta 28xx series mvt the dial feet are held down by 2 tiny dial feet levers much more difficult to remove ..

iv leared to easily swap movements but when it comes to reinstall hands i totally suck at that ! iv messed up many hands ..

good luck rx man

The levers swing out. Take your screwdriver or tweezers, or pegwood, and grab the hook on the lever, swing it out, then move to the next one. Make sure both levers are fully out of contact with the feet and then lift the dial straight up. (May require a little wiggling...a LITTLE) if you pull one up before the other you may bend the dial feet. Hope that helps.
