Having trouble removing the pins from the links on my Ebel 1911 model 74643113 E1080241 wrist band. What size or diameter punch should I use so I don't strip the pin's threads. Do I have to tap hard to get the pins to move? How does a watch repair man remove the pins correctly without any damage?
Watchmakers are using special pin removing tools and punches. You can find them on Ebay. If you have pins you can not damage threads as pins do not have any threads - they are friction fitted. Punch must be the size of the pin end you can see. Some pins come out easily, some quite hard, so, use appropriate strength to drive pins out. In case if there are screws - use small screwdriver to fit in the slotted screw end and unscrew the screw.
Rate me, plz.
