Apologies if this is in the wrong forum - mods, please move if you feel it's appropriate.
Hi guys, I've got a crystal lift as I'm looking to replace the crystals in a couple of my 'fixer-uppers' - once I've done a bit of practicing on some old donor Seikos that I bought for the purpose of tinkering on.
I googled the process of using the lift but try as I might, I could not compress the crystal that is currently sitting in the case to even make it move/rotate! Am I just being weak? It doesn't really matter if break the one that is currently in the case but I'm pretty sure that unless the lift is in a vice with a spanner, I've gone as far as I can with hand power alone!
So in everyone else's experience, how much force should be applied?
And just in case I'm using the wrong type of tool (I don't believe I should I be using a press), the Seiko model is 7025-8010.
Thanks for your help.
