Others I've seen have a screw in the centre of the rotor....this one, I'm sure how to remove the rotor. It looks like this. Thanks! EDIT.....ok figured it out, 2 screws and the whole automatic winder comes out, rotor is screwed on from the bottom.....should have scratch head before asking

Here you go. Start by removing the bearing dust caps - should twist and slide off. Then remove the split nut and loosen the pulley set screw. Then you can loosely fit the drawbar (no collet) and tap the end of it to loosen the bearing shaft. You could hit the shaft directly, but this will help protect it. Once removed, you will see the outer bearing cone has a pip which located in the slot in the shaft - important point for reassembly. Here are all the parts when disassembled. I remember reading that some lathes have a plain ring nut and a split nut. Mine doesn’t and I don’t think it should, but of course the shaft will only come out if there’s no threaded retainers in the way. Let me know if you have any other questions... oh, and don’t forget to refit your drive belt when you put it all back together like I just did.

It sounds like a cannon pinion issue. Has it been snapped back in place properly? If it has, it could be needing tightened.

Personally I think I'd rather have this than having a hairspring all tangled up. So an interesting book is "Bench practices for watch and clockmakers" by Henry B Fried Has a nice section on what to do with hair Springs that don't quite look right. I would suggest though practicing on a practice hairspring first. But if you lack of practice spring you could try just be careful not to pull too much. So a couple images out of the book.

I would absolutely recommend Bergeon which is what I use. But I have a set of six Anchor drivers I bought some years ago which I can't fault in anyway Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I use the ergonomic Bergeon set. Absolutely love it. To dress them I use the horotec sharpener. It's suppose to give you a T shape but I manage to get a normal V shape from it just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I purchased myself the Horotec set from Eternal tools this year and I'm very happy with it. https://www.eternaltools.com/watchmakers-screwdrivers/horotec-6-watchmakers-screwdrivers-set
