How about using high tech stuff like superglue. Some super- glue has 9 seconds timeframe 

I would be careful with that, you do not know how such stuff when in contact with the hairspring it might cause damage

The collet has a horizontal slot retaining the hairspring. Is it held on by glue or press fit. 

As mentioned in similar topics before one can't, in practice, do any manipulation 7S26 hairspring collet. It is set at the factory and meant to stay like that for life. So in case of any problem the balance complete must be replaced.

Normally press fitted, but very old watches can be held in with shellac, I have seen many pocket watches with it

I have seen nail polish used as glue on collet-staff, no sign of lacquor damage to metals 50 yrs later.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
