Thank you! I was getting ready to order spring clamps for $20 to work on a 100+ year old family heirloom that my cat knocked off the mantel. I have TONS of zip ties, every shape and size, and looks like I can get on it without the wait. Hopefully that is a collar i am attaching to and can remove it as a fixed assembly.
Problem with the zip tie method is that you can’t remove the gear wheel w/ spring to clean since you’re tying it to the post the spring is attached to. The “C” spring clamps just grips the spring.
I'm thinking that useing this zip-tie procedure might be the only way for me to remove the broken mainspring in my 30-hr Jerome "Cottage" clock. Thanks, Chris...
I need to let down the power on a Seth Thomas with open springs but don’t intend to remove the spring, just clean it. Would this procedure work for that? And can I go ahead and reengage the spring and click once it is powered down most of the way?
Yes, that is a valid procedure. I would wind the spring all the way down, then engage the click and put some power on it so the spring is not so big. Just leave enough room so the leaves of the spring will allow fluid ro pass through.
I think this will get me past my fear...part of my fear is round metal "clamp" against flat oiled metal under pressure and slipping can occur and slice my fingers.

I remove it and clean it always.
OK??? It's around the post, though. How do you take the main wheel and spring out for cleaning and negotiate the post???

I find it very effective

Thanks so much!
@@stonylawless6230 your welcome
Yeah, what if spring is broken and jammed against the case?
The click spring is probably dislocated off the ratchet/pawel
i kinda need a way to open the hand powerd clock from the case

These springs are no joke. Take proper safety measures. Some professionals recommend heavy duty gloves when handling the springs.
hmmm zip tie...? what kind? I am about to do this. So just wanna make sure.
I buy the heavy duty strength at the local hardware store.
May I ask what kind of clock is that. I do so not a clock never fixing anything in my life. It’s that clock.
It is what is called a half-hour-hour strike movement. This means it strikes on the half hour once and strikes the number of the hour at the hour.
