VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND NEWER 1946-1948 Chevy 48 - Replacement of clock handles

Hi, i´m currently restoring my 48` clock. I would like to replace my broken clock handles, but i don´t know how to remove the center knob to exchange the handles. Is it just screwed or is there a special trick?

pull out the knob like your gonna adjust the time and grab onto the small shaft with needle nose pliers then unscrew (counter clockwise).

conv48,

Good advice.

Heck fire, I thought he was talking about the hour and minute hands rather than the winding/adjusting knob. I'm getting too old.

Best,

Charlie

Hi, sorry for my late response

Indeed, my question was for the big center knob which holds the two clock handles, not for the smaller time adjustment knob.

I´ve two new clock handles, but i didn´t see how i get the center knob out for the handle exchange...

i have an old clock i was going to hang on my wall
cant get the winding knob off
broke the needles in the process
I'm still going to clean it up and fix it

thanks for the info

Silver81,

Did you ever get this figured out? I’m stuck at the exact same spot you were in your picture above. I also have 2 new hands/handles, and struggling to find any good info on this.

Hi, up to now i didn´t get more info or some progress... Maybe i wil disassembly an old clock to see how the handles can be removed on a good clock.
