Evidently the "dog" ate the regulator arm as well. Could it be the first born is named "Dog"?
BTW to take the wheel off, loosen the two lttle screws on the balance cock that retain te hairspring first so you can release the Hairspring stud as you lift up the balance cock. The remove the 1 larger scre holding on the balance cock and gently lift the cock while gently maneuvering the hairspring stud out of the groove inder the cap held down by the two smeller screws you loosened.
It sounds nuts, but if the metal is not broken, it is worth a try to try and straighten that wheel.
