Your method works well if the stud had a screw but the Etachron is press fit and without the cock or bridge being supported I can’t press hard enough to seat it. So my question is more about how to deal with replacing the balance assembly on the Etachron -

If you did cut the stem, there still some stem sticking out of the winding crown, thats how you want the crown. Next remove balance+ cock assembly + fork, and throw the rest of the movement + the crown in Coca Cola for a 30 hrs soak. Coca Cola dissolves oil & grease. ( much better than WD40 oil ) Then start to disassemble before Coke dries out. If dial plate doesn't come out from back of the case, then it must have been loaded from the front, so bezel must be removed. Good luck Coca cola doesn't damage base metals, penetrate better than any oil base solution, dissolves oil/ grease. WD40 is water base and breaks rust bonds, not oil. Try coca cola , you be surprised how well it works. -
You mean rotate 90 degrees around the stem? Ok, that makes sense. Regarding the Coca Cola, is this a better option than a citric acid solution? -
25 & 26 go here. I take if you've got the cover plate? 31 & 32 are the click and spring for the keyless works. Edit Just realised that 25 & 26 are also part of the keyless works but the 26 spring is the correct shape. This is from the AS 1916 parts list which looks like the base calibre.
