Kif "flector" Or Kif Ref. 2

[matabog]

Hello!

Does anybody know how to deal with KIF Flector? Any video out there?

 

Thank you!

Twist ? it turns and the little "ears" free up ?

[matabog]

Yes, but I understand that further down there is a spring that holds the cap jewel... Or is that not necessary to pull out?

I have a Hamilton 60 movement on the way (http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Hamilton_60) and was documenting

I have never dealt with a KIF flector but your post sent me on a search to see what I could find ,..which was just more questions . 

It appears that there are 2 parts to this shock system . The clover leaf looking part and the "C" looking ring . 

I don't know for sure , but in some of the pics I found it seems as if part of the leaf part curls around the C part .

Good Luck and let us know what you find out .

There might be a spring underneath that gives it shock protective ability. Whatever you do, use the KIF tool or you will agonize when you try to put it back in place (if you don't lose/break it upon removal).
