Hi  With this tool the jaws are inserted between the hub of the balance staff and the roller. The chamfered jaws when closed gently push the roller assembly from the staff using the hub as a pressure point. It would be advisable to do this inside a poly bag (large) as the roller can shoot from the staff to become one of the great unfound watch bits hidden in the carpet. If you google balance staff roller remover instructions I am sure you will find some info.

     best have a white rubber mat under foot at your bench and a large poly bag like the " cone of silence ".  vin

Hi The distance an escaping watch part travels is directly proportional to its importance, therefore best to limit its escape route.

I am not sure if that helps, some of the parts even beat Houdini if it comes to getting out/disappearing.
