Philco 8B56 clock
#4

I did the same thing on my globe clock mech. It has the exact same layout of your diagram. It was really a hassle to get it back in and have that spring in between...

You have used clock mech oil right? Have you degunked it? I have soaked the mech in brake fluid.
Disassembly is not easy if you are not used to it. Layers of gears and pins. I havent done a clock in a while but I have done 26 coin op mechs this year Icon_lol
Sometimes if you are pulling too hard you can cause friction. Just pull until the gears are in line and twist. The mech usually only goes clockwise smoothly.
