How to remove A7750 B1 from 088 GMT

I am trying to find a tutorial to remove the movement of an Asian 7750 B1 out of a Panerai 088 GMT.
I posted elsewhere the problem that the second hand (subdial @9) catches the GMT as it passes over it, causing the watch to stop.

I am convinced this should be an easy fix given the right advice. I have looked using the search button, but can't seem to find the correct movement tutorial.

Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

If it looks way to difficult, or it looks like that I might cause more harm than good, then I will just return it to DSN, as he has recommended.

Thanks

Wow, I thought I was reading my own post. Just went through this.

Just a few things though. Have you ever removed and replaced any movement before? Do you have the right tools? Are you a patient person? Have you ever removed and replaced those small seconds before? Has DSN said that you could try to fix it, and he'll still take it back if you screw things up more?

Are you a member of RG? As I have a couple of threads about this there.

If you still want to give it a try, let me know, and I'll do some copying and pasting, from the threads over at RG, to get you on your way.

Thanks for the offer of advice, but I decided to send it back. I am a relative novice when it comes to things like this, so I figured the best course of action was to leave well alone. I spoke to Davidsen & he told me to send it back.

I will practice on something else!

On the note of Repgeek, I joined, but I never received the email allowing me to authorise the account. Strange!
