one more question about the bulova

[east3rn]

OK, I disassembled the Bulova 11ac movement and wonder if this wheel is supposed to stick there on the wheel bridge.

Should I take the wheel apart from the bridge as well? If it is necessary, how can I take it apart?

I have not worked on that calibre but I would think the wheel should come off using a puller.. I'm surprised the bridge came off with the wheel attached. 

The wheel removing tool required.

I think this is the calibre that was serviced.

It is pressure fit and should come off with hand levers of the tool @clockboy mentioned.

You are correct it is friction fitted. When removing you MUST remove with an even pull to avoid damage. Re-fitting should be done with a staking tool to ensure a straight push.

If you don’t need to remove then don’t. Oiling will be a bit fiddley, so oil it before you put the rest of the train in. As the rest of the train and bridge came apart so it should go back, again it will be fiddley. If you are not careful in trying to remove it, you could damage the wheel, pivot and even the jewel.

I agree.
