    C3 clock disassembly

    I have an original clock with the second broken off. How are the hands removed/installed on the clock.

    Thanks

    Joe,

    There is a small tool that hold the hands on both sides where it comes out of the stem.

    You can make such a tool from a pair of needle nose pliers.

    Put them back on with your finger.

      So, they just pop off, no twisting etc? I have small needle nose pliers, so I should just grab all 3 hands at once?

        NO NO NO! STOP! DON'T DO THAT!

        You have to make the needle nose into a device that will go behind the pointers and lift them off. You go grabbing those with needle nose and squeeze enough and they will be toast.

        Gently pull them off. They bend easily.

          OK, thanks I figured it out. The second hand has a post and I was able to gently pry up and it came off. The hour and second hand then come off fairly easily.

          Thanks again......
