Just noticed the remarks on that screen shot you sent @Neverenoughwatches it says ratchet on back side, crown wheel just for show. So I think the click can be in 2 different places?

The Rodico trick is fiddly with such a small screw, it's just to get the thread started. Using a balance screw holder is easier, but it's still fiddly to get the screw in the holder 🤣 Yes, being a bit rough, they do mark the balance screws a bit. So, another thing to add to the tool "wish list". Thanks for reminding me 😟

Thanks for all the replies, it's really appreciated. While I was at the gym I thought about the problem a bit more and also came up with the rodico and pin vice scenario. Stick the screw in some rodico, thread first, then pick up the head of the screw with the pin vice, and hopefully, job done. I have a cheap pin vice from Amazon but also have the Hortec double-ended one in my shopping cart at Cousins so may get that before trying.

Welcome! I lived in Tucson for a few years as a (very) young man, actually moved away to go to watchmaking school. Good place for horology, nothing can rust!
