newer Chelsea

[CJo]

I have this newer model Chelsea and want to take the hands off to get inside, but not sure if this is different from the norm. Is the seconds hand a press fit or something else? Doesn't seem to want to come off the normal way and I don't want to mess it up. What about the minute and hour hands? Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help!

Press fit. You need to pull straight up or risk breaking the 4th wheel pivot.

Thank you so much.

A reamer has flat sided cutters and a cutting broach is tapered.​

I don't have any reamers small enough to open up a worn bushing hole.
So, I use cutting broaches made for clock repair.
For larger mainwheels one might use a reamer.. where does one find a reamer for T or S 2 thru 5
I think we have a problem with calling the tool what it actually is

I use reamers exclusively to open worn bushing holes. If the plate is clamped securely, you should be fine. Reaming by hand is a different thing though.
