#Seiko 7S26 & 7S36 watches: How to remove the stem & crown
Channel: Mizeni – for Seiko collectors
Date: 2022-09-19

Stem removal on the Seiko 7S26 movement (used in SKX divers and many other Seiko watches) in easy steps:

1. Do not pull the crown out. If you have a screw-in crown, unscrew it.
2. Use something with a fine point to push on the stem release dimple.
3. While pushing on the dimple (not too hard), gently pull the stem out.

To replace the stem, you don't need to push on the dimple again. Just push the crown and stem in slowly, rotating it a bit if it gets stuck. If you have a screw-in crown, don't forget to screw it in again!

Note this method also works on similar Seiko movements such as 7S25, 7S35 and 7S36.
