How to remove 111J hex tube

[COLDI]

I'm having a pita time with this. How was this done? What ways did you try that worked?

anyone

I'm guessing you tried a regular tube remover? What about an hex key? That's how you remove the gen tube.

The crown on my 005k was sealed to the stem with epoxy. I had to apply unusual force to remove it. Maybe these new hex tubes also are?

So how did you remove yours? Pushing it out? Pulling it out?

Sorry if I didn't express myself properly. I didn't, I'm just throwing ideas.
Tube is either pushed in or screwed in, so you either pull it out or screw it out.

Hmm might have to try to unscrew it and loosen the epoxy. THEN push it out.

I refuse to pay modders anymore lol

That's how it started for me as well, but it ended up being way more expensive

 

[COLDI]

More expensive? Did you mess yours up?

Of course I messed up a few, that's how I learnt, but in order for my tools and equipment to pay for themselves, I need to work on a loooot more watches
