Clockmakers use a special tool to remove hands, kind of like a midget gear puller. At one junkyard I was in, the guy had a 4' cube box full of clocks, $10 each, as is. I just got an older, non-transistorized movement and resoldered the fuse connection where the low-melting alloy had crystallized and broken. A little clock oil and it's been running for 10 years. At that price, it's not worth messing with a quartz movement .
