Default Another clock question

The clock out of a 64 needs attention. I took the case apart and tried to unscrew the stem **** from the stem. It's frozen and after soaking it for a day I cut the stem in half to remove the lens. I ordered a new **** and stem. My question is how to remove the stem from the small gear that is used to set the time. Is it pressed on? Is it threaded on? I hope someone knows the answer to this. Thanks in advance.

I would think it is a press fit, but call Jerry at The Clock Works to verify-(715)479-5759.

The drive gear on the stem is a pressed on gear. You should be able to get it off without issue.

I've done this many times.
