I don,t know if I did this correctly but when I replaced pallet stone I found one out of my stash that was the same size as the one still in the folk. I then attached it at the same height as the existing stone using this gem of a tool I found on the Bay a few years ago. It worked so I presume this is the method. P.S Notice the price $3.35 what a bargain.

Just thought I'd update this post. I had to send the wrench back to Cousins, who then sent it back to the manufacturer in the USA. They just received the report back from them which basically says too much pressure used by me and incorrect useage. Interestingly Cousins promptly refunded me and asked the manufacturer to explain how a steel tool intended for exerting pressure fractured under the force of a human hand. All credit to Cousins for not taking the easy option to reject and choosing to back the customer instead. I'm still looking for a decent quality bench top opener though .

Been there done that as they say :) . Good to now that it.s easy to find .According to Ofrei .All of this pallet fork should work .

From a previous post I made on the subject:- "This is the bit that gave me the most heartache when I started. Wind the watch 1-2 turns and check that the escapement levers flicks sharply from side to side by gently pushing it with a dry oiler or tooth pick. If all is well, fit the balance wheel. Make sure that you position the balance jewel correctly regarding the end of the lever. Looking down on the lever, if it lying to the right, ensure that the balance jewel is even further to the right when you drop the balance into position. Vice versa if the lever is lying to the left. As you turn the balance cock into the correct position the balance jewel will automatically engage the lever and watch should start running. As a wee aside, when oiling a watch, do not oil the pivot jewels on the escapement lever."
