You did not even show us how you removed the broken spring bar part stuck in the hole.

And Trump is responsible for this because..?

[@wesleypearson7619]

i wish you'd be willing to show your process of removal. unfortunately we both learned the same hard lesson and now, i'm scouring the internet for even anybody that's encountered this problem let alone fixing it. i don't have any pairs of needle nose and i don't want to bend it past repair with metal tools. alrighty. best of luck, to maybe the creator, or any other soul reading this.

Did not show how to remove spring bar

[@ophir1262]

This method didn't work for me. But I have another solution. I downloaded a vibration app for my mobile phone, set it to maximum and held the phone against the watch until the broken pin fell out😉

You showed us nothing. I have a spring bar that is seized up and I can’t the band off. I can’t apply pliers or any tool because the band is still in the way. How the hell do you remove a spring bar that won’t compress?

[@ramseyzrr]

Had the same situation. Managed to remove it by using the needle & WD40. It takes some time and patience

[@jsenear]

How did you get it out? I have the same problem.

[@igorcabrera8123]

For a rusty spring bar just cut it in the middle with a cable cutter, spring bars are inexpensive to replace and you will not damage your lugs.

Cool THANK YOU, I’ve had this issues almost 10 years... I’m going to try this.

[@rbmwiv]

Thanks for sharing never seen it just heard about that. I upgraded all my spring bars to stainless.

[@juniorbullock838]

I've had the same problem myself, so I bought a spring bars pack and I regularly change them out for new ones.

Wow. Those things rusted up big time. Hard metal of screwdriver vs soft/corroded springbar. Good fix.

[@distantport]

Very informative as usual.

[@nunomc2815]

Great work 👍

[@cjdig86]

I have the same exact watch and the spring bars broke within 1 year of light use. I got a set of Swiss made spring bars.. they’re much stronger. 22mm. I haven’t replaced them ever since.

[@stephanblack4558]

I had the same issues, you helped me. Thank you.

Hello may i ask, how big is the screw driver that you used to drill out the lug hole?
