dieselpower Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi All, I have a small problem which is turning out to be a big problem! I am trying to liberate a set of endlinks from a rep 19mm Daytona bracelet. The springbars are stuck in the endlinks and I am afraid to use force for fear of breaking something. I need the endlinks for use with a gen bracelet to go on my EE6263 but they seem permanently attached to the rep bracelet? What can I do? Does anybody have any spare endlinks that would fit a 19mm folded link bracelet and be correct for the EE6263 head? All the best for the New Year to you all , Dieselpower.

freddy333 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Diesel - Why not just take some needlenose pliers & pull the springbars out (it might help to soak them in WD40 for a few minutes 1st)? If the springbars are all that is holding the end links onto the bracelet, I would not worry about the springbars, which can easily be replaced.

Try a little heat before you pull them with the needle nose. They will come out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Cheers for the advice chaps. Am off to visit friends now but will put the bracelet on the operating table when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifly65 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 The word 'springbar' makes me wince. I hate to admit this: I spent 9 hours assembling the springbars on my 1665 after doing a vegetable oil, soap rinse and car wax treatment to the bracelet. I watched the sun rise...then I finally bent them to make them fit. This is after I ruined one of them. The lug holes on my Trusty 1665 are way 'off'. I hope you get them out...good luck.

dieselpower Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have taken the needlenose pliers to the bracelet and they did indeed come out. Were held fast with general dirt and corrosion. I have replaced the bars and all is well. Watch now going for further work. Pictures upon its return. Cheers.
