PAM Wall Clock help needed

[Desuetude]

Today I returned to my room to discover that the dial of my PAM wall clock (ordered from River) was pretty darn warped; it was pretty heated from the sun exposure from my window. I took it apart, and have the case+crystal apart from the dial and backing. It's a sandwich dial, and the top part of the sandwich separated from the bottom layer of lume. I think that I can reunite the two layers, and subsequently re-flatten the dial, but it is rather difficult to do with the dial locked in by the hands. Does anyone have any clues as to how to remove the hands from this wall clock, or any wall clock for that matter. Because the scale is way bigger, I figured that some people would have some insight, but I don't want to mess the clock up before even having a chance to try and fix it because I borked the hand removal. Any help is extremely appreciated!
