Hi there!

I’m trying to remove a canon pinion with the appropriate just bought tool but the pinion doesn’t come off. Problem is that it is sliding, there is no shape to hang on. 

Any idea ?

Guess that is an pocket watch with a press fit canon pinion?

You probably need a staking set and gently tap it out.

(P.S . Nexttime just post in the Watch Repairs Help & Advice, makes everything easier)

Hi HSL and thanks for your answer. 

Yes it's a pocket watch. A staking set seems something I can’t afford for the moment. Any other solution?

Well the thing with this tool is so you can align it straigt but I guess everything you could use to get the same effect goes.
The cannon pinion is slightly conical so you only have to get the second wheel to go downwards in a gentele way.
Will attache a picture so you get the idea.. (Here I am pressing it back).

To be sure to understand, you press on the canon pinion with your tool to be sure it’s straight against the watch plate and then you pull the second wheel down? If so, how do you pull it without moving?

Not on the canon pinion just the little top of the second wheel, it will just slide straight down

Later you have to press it on again.

      What size hands do you need as most wholesalers have a selection. Agian most wholesalers have a selection of crystals depending on the shape. No would be the answer to UV glue as it doesn't work in a sandwich and only the overspill exposed to UV sets.

      To start searching for hands, measure the diameter of the hour wheel where the hour hand attaches, and the tip of the cannon pinion where the minute hand attaches. Use calipers that are accurate to 0.01mm, and then you can look around ebay for hands about the right size. It is typical to have to either close down (concave punch) or broach open the pipe when fitting hands since you won't usually find a set that is the exact diameter of your hour wheel & cannon pinion. It is reasonable to work with something about +/- 0.03mm  Measure the thickness of the 4th wheel extended pivot for a seconds hand. Cousins does sell some new hands for pocket watches, but I don't find them suitable for old watches. They just don't look right so instead I managed to win an auction on an enormous assortment of old hands. It's sort of fun to pick through them and measure to find a workable pair. I use this tool to measure hands:

      First thought was Ali but not quite the right size. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001332181418.html?src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!GBP!15.89!15.89!!!!!%40!10000015722336818!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=494-037-6276&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en4001332181418&ds_e_product_merchant_id=109329972&ds_e_product_country=GB&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=17859500389&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17190468917&gbraid=0AAAAADznYb9wcm3yr5TVnjKS13BUaCYRa&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoZbBBhDCARIsAOqMEZX56VaN03sqlHk3bDswNOyXmi-lHQRBwgyt3mVympigQhcfH6Iqb94aAnEsEALw_wcB

      I'm looking for hands (3) & a crystal (4cm dia.) for my watch Serial No. 85590 as shown in the photo. I'd be grateful for suggestions re potential sources; and to know if uv glue would be suitable for re-fixing the 12mm dia. seconds dial.
