    Tom,
    According to the WSW those tools are not to be used to extract the jewel. Their purpose is to open up the bezel just enough to fit in the new jewel and then close the bezel around the new jewel once it has been pushed into place. The extraction is done by smashing up the old broken jewel and picking the pieces out. Their emphisis was on not damaging the setting. The jewel is ruined anyway which is why it has to be replaced.
