That is to give you the sense of accomplishment that you had a part in the build of the machine. -
I used my Presto tool and a racor blade. The canon pinion with the small wheel is pushed from below through a suitable hole in the blade while the bigger wheel is held back by the blade. The plastic legs of the Presto tool push against the blade during disassembly (Hope my words make sense…). I just worked on the 889. No idea where the washer comes from. Here a picture of the canon pinion unit for reference: -
I have read it somewhere that the balance staffs on American pocket watches were much harder than those of Swiss watches. I'll guess mine are all dinged up from the mighty Elgin & Waltham staffs. -
Mine never showed any signs of wear on the edges and it was a Bergeon. -

I have 2 bradux which I seem to think is Bergeon. On both the jaws were a liitle chewed up when i got them in some joblots. No idea if they are hardened but maybe not as roller tables are soft, unless a heavy handed someone has been chopping balance staffs with then .
