a lil' help wtih a datewheel

hi guys, im looking for some direction:

in transplanting a datewheel from an asian 2813 (correct sub font) to an eta 2836 with stock eta datewheel.

this is my understanding which i learned from a 2892 diagram. i must remove the eta date disc by removing the date jumper plate, and the additional indicator plate in order to remove the whole date disc, then glue the 2813 one over top.

i assume the 2813 doesnt just drop in place of the 2836 datewheel replacing it.

is there any need to sand the 2813 disc or can i just (glue)sandwhich it on top of the 2836 no problem?

what else do i need to know.

thanks

Datewheels are not interchangeable between these movements.

If the DG has an overlay on it, you can transplant this to the ETA, no reason to disassemble or remove the ETA wheel to do this.

If there is no overlay on the DG, you can't glue the DW onto the ETA, it will end up too thick and jam up against the back of the dial.

thanks for your guidance. got the overlay unsticked from the old datewheel insert with a razor nicely. now all i have to do is glue tht sucker over top of the eta date insert. any suggestions on what glue to use, the best way to cut the dial feet (im thinking a metal file) and what glue to use on the dial with spacer ring?
