Since the only function of the stem
in the Model 40 is to stop the move-
ment and set the hands, the stem
retention has been simplified by com-
bining the stem and setting pinion and
providing a navel stem bracket
(495/3).
There are no screws or levers holding
the stem. To remove the stem, pull
the stem into set position maintaining
a slight outward pull. Next, place the
points of a heavy set of tweezers into
the space betwen one side of the
stem bracket and the stem . Now,
gently release one side of the stem
bracket from the stem by pushing the
ear of the stem bracket in the di-
rection of the arrow. You will notice
now that the stem will tilt sideways.
While still ma i ntaining the outward
pull, repeat the process on the other
side of the stem. When both sides of
the stem bracket have thus been re-
leased, the stem will came out com-
pletely.
To replace the stem, firmly press the
stem in place with a slight rotating
motion so that the stem pinion teeth
will mesh with the minute wheel
teeth .
Next, remove the crystal using a
Timex crystal lift, or a conventional
crystal lift. The movement and re-
flector ri ng can now be removed
through the crystal side of the bezel.
Take note of the movement locating
tabs in the bezel. When reinserting
the movement, be certain that the
movement is' in its proper position
with
respect to these locating tabs
otherwise the reflector ring and crystal
will
not seat properly.
