purspeed Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Which model are you trying to perform this on? The technique, as well as type of springbar used will differ depending on vintage/modern, etc... It's for the TW Classic...it's about a year old. One of the springbars appears slightly bent. Also, the hole in the case is off from gen. Is there any way to fix this? Thank Ubiq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Okay, If it's a TW Classic, you can use a straightened paperclip to insert into the lug hole to push in/compress the springbar for removal. It's pretty straight forward; however, you may want to cover the lugs with some tape prior to removal to prevent scratching, etc. (should the paperclip or springbar removal tool slip). If you want to fit some genuine 2.0mm springbars, the lug holes will need to be drilled out to 1.3mm to accomodate the 1.2mm springbar ends...

700club Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 this may help http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=1422 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purspeed Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Thanks. That was actually very helpful. How do you pop off the bezel/insert? Also, the bezel takes tremendous force to rotate. What's the cure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) How do you pop off the bezel/insert? Also, the bezel takes tremendous force to rotate. What's the cure? Here are a couple of posts of how I removed the bezel & insert of the TW Sub classic which may be of help: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...780entry41780 & http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=3024&hl= The bezel may have a bunch of dirt underneath which is what I found on my TW Sub. Once all the parts are cleaned, the bezel will rotate very nicely. I also modded the side case holes & bracelet of my TW Sub & posted a description of the process @ http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=3520&hl= Hope this helps out a bit. For the insert which you asked about in another post, it is easiest to purchase an insert with a decent pearl and use the pearl on the TW insert. Very easy to do as it just attatched with glue.
