I believe you either have to pull the crown all the way out and a small flap that you can press will appear from inside the movement (close to where the stem enters the movement) or the button that you have to press is somewhere to the left of the stem. Can't remember exactly.

I put together a DIY on my blog, it documents the procedure on the 5M62 but I believe the location of the release is the same.

I should add - if I am not mistaken the stem release is most accessible when the crown is in position 2 (date setting)

  This happened to me several years ago when I first got my barrel closing tool. In my eagerness to try out my new tool, I closed the cap without the arbor. I don't quite remember how I opened it. I might have used compressed air to pop the cap off. I sometimes use compressed air to open those "sealed" Seiko barrels.

  Welcome @Boggie46. I would encourage you to take a little time to learn the terminology of watch parts, e.g., "winder rod" is the "stem." It will help us to help you. I am curious as to how you removed the center seconds wheel.

  Put the arbor in the barrel in the correct direction and look at the hook of the arbor. It will show You the direction of the spring.

  I do believe in one of the manuals I saw for the 2892 DD module, you could unscrew it from the 2892, and submerge the whole thing in your cleaning machine as a single unit. I havent tried that yet, but when I was having issues with my Omega 1140, I got lucky and found a brand new one in Poland, and ordered that. So, if someone needs parts from an 1140 Omega/2892, I have the chronograph module in my parts bin, although its disassembled.
