The escapement wheel arrived from Merritts, but is smaller than the one I need. I have another Ingraham escapement wheel that is the exact same size and has the exact same shaft but the wheel turns in the opposite direction. As a result the teeth of this wheel are pointed in the opposite direction. I have been thinking about removing the wheel from the shaft and flipping it over. It is staked onto the shaft with four stake punch marks. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might remove it? Drill out the stake holes?
