Remove calibre from back plate

[Birdie]

I hope someone can help me here please. I have bought a Trafalgar watch from the bay which is a front loader and I cannot remove the works. I have managed to remove the bezel and dial etc but the works are still very secure in the body. I can’t see any securing screws and don’t really want to use any excessive force. I have attached photos. Would very much appreciate any guidance.

Loosen the setting spring and remove the crown with the stem. That is a step needed with any watch.

Thanks jdm, it’s not obvious from the photo but the crown stem isn’t restricted by the body. There is a cut away, but thanks anyway.

It should just lift out. Sometimes they are a bit tight and need a little levering carefully with a screwdriver or case knife.

There seems to be two areas that might be impinging on its release. The stem seems to be rubbing on the case also not sure what the other area I have ringed is.Also do I see a seal surrounding the movement. 

I recommend the stem and seal is removed and try to wriggle it fee.

Nickelsilver. Thanks for response, I have tried that. There even appears to be a small cut out to help but it won’t budge.

Clockboy. Thanks for the response. I thought the same, in fact I thought it was a kind of circular spring, but on close inspection under the microscope it is actually part of the body. The stem part is part of the crown and rotates easily. I think as Nickelsilver suggest it is probably just stuck. I’ll try a bit more force. 
Thanks again for all your help.

Just a guess, presuming crown at 3 Oclock, there is a big screw at 12 Oclock, I loosen that see if the movement gets loose.

Thanks everyone for your input. I bit the bullet so to speak and with a solid pen knife and a bit of additional force, out it popped. So am now pleased and thanks again to you all
