I usually just give everything a good brush down first to remove debris, i like to do any repairs first it saves a lot of time having to re-clean . Not sure about a practice piece maybe? it has so many what look like old poor repairs. Up to now, broken setting lever, set mainspring, two cracked plate jewels, chipped pallet fork cock jewel, chipped pallet stones, rusty hairspring, heavily modified balance wheel,and deformed staff. The jewels are rubbed in and the staff just snapped taking the roller off. -
Oldhippy - I see you’ve used all approaches then. I too have a screw down press and a lever press here, but I’ve had more practice using the screw down. I wonder, though, whether I might be able to be a little more controlled and gentle with the lever style press? Not sure, I guess I’ll find out, but not until the moment of truth, when the die and the crystal meet under pressure, just a few millimetres from the dial and hands. Yikes. This is an adventure 🙂 -

It might be soldered in, try applying heat. -
I had two different tension ring tools one was screw down the other was press I liked the press better. Just to let you know how well my workshop was equipped I even had the Omega glass fitting tool and the Tissot.
