Chrono pusher gasket placement

[jguitron]

Hello everyone,

 

I've been working on replacing the gaskets on the pushers of my 6139 and I can't help thinking that there's got to be a better way of doing it this! Im using wood sticks and tiny screwdrivers stretching to gaskets a bit so that they go over into the slot.

 

I'm hoping somebody with more experience would give some advice. There's got to be a tool for this! I just have not been able to find it online.

 

Thank you!

Try this

1. Find a ball pen refill or similar tube that goes over the the pusher.

2. Roll gasket onto tube

3. Slide tube over pusher

4. Roll gasket into place

Edit
When I said PUSHER I mean the part that makes contact with the mechanism and not the BUTTON [emoji106]

This how i do . Have an pusher which i put in a drill vise from an old lathe. Makes it easier to hold it. 

From this to this. Just simple  wiggle  it lite and i gets on fairly easy.Without any tools. Some silicon on the rod and puchers and it work very good. 

Have an old drill chuck to hold the pusher with. Gets a little sturdier.

Brilliant idea!

I'm sure once mastered it changes the game on gasket placement.

However, rolling the gasket on to the refill tube proved to be a challenge yet to be resolved in my hands. In fact, I used a hairspring hang pin which fits flush on the refill tube. I loaded the gasket on the the pin and then attempted to transfer the gasket on to the tube. The "step" was too big and so I filed the tip of te refill tube and it seemed possible but still couldn't transfer the gasket!

I'm sure that once on the refill tube it will be a breeze to deploy in its groove.


Thanks for the great idea though!!

I don't have a vise large enough for the button but this idea of using an old drill chuck is fantastic!

Thank you!!
