Edwarny,
I just reread your post. To push the gear to clear the click use a bamboo kabob stick that can be picked up at almost any grocery store. Push the sharp end of the stick against the gear tooth. NEVER turn the gear with the screw. I hope no one instructed you to to use the screw for this. It is only designed to hold the gear in place while the watch is running. The reason for the left hand thread is to prevent it from coming loose as the gear turns.
