I have no idea how to remove the stem on this particular movement in detail, but usually, there's a release mechanism that is triggered by putting pressure to a button which is usually placed next to where the stem is located. If you see, for example, a little black button that sits in a slightly deepened cut out anywhere close to the stem, trying pressing it down with a suitable tool, while carefully, but firmly pulling the stem out. Whether the crown has to be in the default or any pulled out position depends on the movement type and may vary...
