How To Replace Clock Hands & Motor

I will show you how to replace the mechanism and hands on your clock. If you love your clock but it no longer works, you can purchase a new motor and hands. The only tools you need for this task are a couple of screw drivers and your bare hands.

Thanks for getting all the helpful steps in there. The three videos I watched before yours were not thorough enough!

I wasn’t your target audience, but thank you for this video! I am removing the clock hands so I can paint a custom back as a gift for a friend, and this was the first video that got me to successfully removing the minute hand!

Nice video, thanks. I worked out that if the hands are a bit stiff you can use the tip of a small pair of scissors to lever the hands off evenly.

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Great tip thanks. I suppose thin needle nose pliers would also be effective as well giving it an even slide upwards. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe

If anyone can assist, please help. I cannot lift off the hands from my clock. It has only the hour and minute hands, and there is a pin/cap on top. I pulled one of the hands and now it is loose, but the other one is firmly in place and just rotates when I try to remove this cap. I need to replace the whole mechanism, but I am stuck!

[@daddylogan]

Wondering if when you put the hands and second hand back on...should not they all be set at noon - straight up so when you adjust the time everything is calibrated?

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Yes that would be a more precise way of doing it. Thanks for the tip. Please like and subscribe

[@khantanzl123]

Pls expound, how to tight minute hand?

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

You don’t tighten the hands. They just push on. If they are loose then you need a new set of hands

[@marielindsay4720]

Could use dental floss to remove hands.

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

I suppose you could but that seems awkward. I prefer a screwdriver but if that works for you. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
