thanks for the comments right for the last bit once the movement is out you can get at the plunger remove all fixings from it and slide it out Polish the road with brasso do the polishing by hand and Polish it evenly clean the hosing i use crab cleaner be cerful with this stuff as it removes pant and melts plastic get sum wood doweling that's a snug fit in the tube that the rod runs in and give it a good clean don't be tempted to use emery or any abrasive in this part a light rub with a bit of brasso on the wood shod be sufficient once you have got your rod sliding nice and smooth you can put it all back to together if you have cleaned the movement use interment oil on the pivot's only this is where most people go wrong on this movement it was pre set their is for a beater word a hire spring on all DTI's this must have a pre tension on it this is usually one full turn if you can get a pic of the spring before you dismantle the movement so when you put it back together you can yous it as a reference right more pics
