There's no point me replacing the capacitor now because if I need to adjust anything else I'll have to snap the stem again. I only got to this stage in disassembly because by snapping the stem I could remove the movement - had I not done that I wouldn't have been able to lift the clips to access the canon pinion level. It's a solid titanium case with no opening at the back - you have to remove the bezel and glass to access the movement, and from there there's absolutely no way to remove the stem. Nope! It has nothing on the case back except a citizen logo.
And what the heck is that small "setting stem strap" thing for?! I'd really appreciate someone letting me know what I'm supposed to do with this thing. I'm yet to find a single manual describing how this particular movement's stem is removed. I pulled to the extent I was willing to risk then gave up I can see no other way this is supposed to be removed, especially as there's another inner white plastic ring preventing closer inspection. How in God's holy name are you supposed to remove the stem? My suspicion is it's a two-piece male/female thing but I'm afraid to pull the crown too hard and permanently break it. Inside, sitting on the stem, is a small gold-coloured "setting stem strap" per the manual's description. It's a C600 model with the "monoblock" onepiece case.
After some looking around I found instructions for removing the bezel and glass but I am absolutely stumped by the stem removal. Hi guys, I normally repair manual watches only but I agreed to take a look at Citizen Eco Drive for a friend with the intention of changing the battery.
