So I managed to straighten the pivot by holding the pinion in a pin vice and slowly rolling the pivot on hard metal surface while pushing on the side opposite the bend with tweezers. Just like in the video Mark posted earlier. I didn’t heat it but, if I need to do it again I will as it does make sense to do that I think. My backup was to order a new wheel but repovoting sounds interesting. I’m guessing this is a job for a staking set though, which I don’t have yet. I’ll try leaving the canon pinion on longer for some added protection; it’s usually the first thing I take off. I would want it removed before taking off the train bridge though I guess. In this case though I think the solution is that I need to be more careful when dealing with the extended fourth wheel pivot! -

Hi all, Update: Thanks to everyone who responded — I really appreciate the help! It turns out the issue was caused by a loose cannon pinion on the main plate, which prevented the train wheels from sitting correctly. That’s why the movement wouldn’t tick with the balance in place, and the pallet fork appeared to "float" without engaging. Once that was fixed, everything snapped into place and started working as it should. I had replaced the pallet fork because I accidentally broke the pivot on the original one. @Neverenoughwatches P.S. I definitely need to upgrade my photo setup for situations like this — it's really difficult to capture clear views of small parts with a normal phone camera. -
Hello everyone from Idaho. I started up the hobby about two years ago and love it. My latest repair, that I'm very proud of, is an Oris big crown pointer date 7400B. I'm excited to learn and to help out where I can.
