Hello Bob and fellow members.
I am working on an Elgin size 16, 7 jewel Pocket Watch with SN #9328405. The center wheel pinion is free wheeling
and thus does not allow turning of the center wheel arbor. Perhaps it is a safety pinion that was threaded to the arbor
and may have come loose when the main spring broke, as Bob mentioned in his response to Brassy's Topic covering
Pinion repacement dated 5/25/12. In order for me to take a close look at the center wheel pinion, I have to remove the
cannon pinion to release the center wheel for removal. My problem is removing the cannon pinion. I have a hand
remover that looks simular the one used by Bob in his watch repair video. This hand remover just slips off the
cannon pinion without removing it. I would appreciate your inputs, suggestions, ideas for removing the cannon
pinion!
Thank You
