Hi,

How to remove the movement from the case ? 

I have removed the stem but the I am stuck as the movement can't be taken out as on a 7T32 or similar movement.

Many thanks in advance for you help.

You need to post a good picture front and back.

 

BTW we have a seection where it's considered polite to introduce oneself.

I have introduce myself in the proper section.

I have found out that the movement will not go out from the back as usual. The dial diameter is bigger than the case diameter.

It has to go out from the front . 

Then how to remove the bezel/glass holder ?

The Seiko watch ref is : V172-0AF0  5c977d42-541a-11e6-9f95-2217a03e5c46.jpg

That is called a "front loader", of which there are different sub types. All have been covered many, many times in various topics. You can get to these using the top right box, inserting these words surrounded by double quotes.

In your case it seems to me you have to remove the bezel with the crystal, and it can be very tight, so that using a blade/case knife by hand may not work beside being dangerous, both as in damage to the case, and in wounding yourself. So a safer way could be using something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32976115910.html
Or maybe this this which also open snap-backs https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32976115910.html
