What's the trick? It seems my tool can't depress the bar enough for it to pop out. Would love some tips.
BTW, I had the same problem when removing the bracelet on my SMP the first time; it seems like they are extremely stiff the first time. Gets easier, luckily.
Please be sure to tape the back lug area when the spring bars come out they can leave slight marks. Takes a minute or two extra but saves the marks
Bergeon sells a two sides tool which compressed both sides to reduce the marks the single head tool might leave behind if the areas highlighted are not taped. I just always suggest doing so but personal choice. Looking great on the strap.
