Remove Links On Serket Reef Diver Bracelet

[mmarks9156]

I'm looking for some input on how to remove links on this bracelet as it has screws on each side. I've tried holding one side with flathead screwdriver while trying to unscrew other side but no luck. Am I missing a special tool? Thanks in advance for responses.

Are you sure its a screw head? Often times the split pins can look like screws, but are really just pins that need to be pushed out. Maybe a picture would help us see what is needed.

Here you go.

Looks like screw pins to me. Might have thread lock on them too.

Are you using the correct sized screwdriver? Don't wish to insult but an ill fitting screwdriver usually is the culprit of the damage I can see.

Yes using correct size screwdriver checked that first. I even tried to tap the pin out but no luck. There is a spare pin that can in box and one side unscrews so thinking just need tight grip on other side to hold while unscrew.

Are you trying to do this entirely free hand? one screw driver ought to be secured in a vice, one screw head lowered on to the up-facing screw driver then the other unscrewed with your free hand, (careful for dropping parts.)


Though you can get screw driver head stands for the bench that serve the same purpose, maybe a little safer.

Try securing the bracelet with a holder of some type , Use the proper screwdriver and lightly tap the screwdriver while giving the shaft a turning pressure . Try tightening first .
