Irwin ForemanAdvice Please - Removing a movement from its case
To change the dial on an Elgin convertible, I am having difficulty trying to remove the movement from the case.
I have unscrewed the three case screws and while the movement is now free and tips out, it refuses to slide smoothly off the stem. The movement is lever set so I assume that the stem is not intended to pull out to release the movement - or is it?
It may be dirt or rust on the stem, but I also thought that maybe I also have to unscrew the screw that holds the stem - please see pic.
Could someone please advise me on how to do this? Thank you.

Irwin ForemanThe screw in question.
Do I also have to remove this screw to enable the movement to slide out of the case?
All advice gratefully received.
