The jewel with hole in it is set in a chaton, you wouldn't want to remove it, just clean as best as you can, peg if you can, its to be inspected under high magnification for cracks or worn hole.

End stones/ cap jewels may stick in the chaton, in such cases I drop them in some lighter fluid and shake the bottle it usually seperates them.

Shock spring locks both in the housing.
