    Spring bar removal - help needed

    Hello,

    Got a watch on a cheap bracelet and I managed to get one side off, but now the other side is stuck the spring bar looks a little bent and also not much to grip on it at all!

    One side of spring bar comes out nicely but the other bent side doesn’t!

    I can get it to come out but only push it down (towards watch face) but then as the end link on the bracelet has a little lip it stops it from coming out! So it has to be pulled up (as in up to sky when face is down)

    But as the grip is bad to no one existent I need ideas how to get it off!

    Any ideas of how to get it off?

    Pic below is the end link I got off from the other side of watch to help understand

    Could be a two person job. Hold the watch down and push pin on one side. Friend pushes on the other and he uses his finger to push the end piece up

    Alone. Watch face down in palm with index finger pressing on the face of the end piece as you maneuver the pin out one side while pressing to prevent it from dropping back into lug hole and then try and press the other side out.

    No particular advice from me except that I’ve never sworn as much as when trying to remove certain bracelets.

    Calmly does it and I’m sure you’ll have it out with the advice above.
