LittleWatchShop Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Remove the arbor, tilt it into the inner spring loop. Fiddle with as you get the loop to surround the arbor and fit into the hole on the bottom of the barrel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aac58 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Did you notice you wound it in the wrong direction? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchweasol Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hi If the upper picture is the original and the lower one is the new spring it is indeed wound in the wrong direction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbyleveldt Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 For some reason the barrel I hate the most is the one I do most often. Big ups for having the guts to do it manually, they are real thin and a total pain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertan Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) i want to give a quick update, thamks for the tips, i rewinded the barrel and it gave juice to the train. And after a few dismantlings of the barrel bridge, i found what was wrong, the pallet fork pin was crushed (i think my fault) and i broke 2 balance springs (happy i had reserve). After the cleaning and oiling i checked it on the timegrapher: and this is it now after all the work and adjustment: Edited April 30, 2022 by bertan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
