How Do You Remove The Movement In A Grandfather Clock?
Grandfather clocks are mechanical clocks. An internal system of gears, called the movement or mechanism, is powered by weights. Each weight is attached to a chain. As each weight drops, it pulls down on the chain, advancing a toothed wheel inside the movement. This toothed wheel propels other wheels and gears. The older the movement, the more likely it is to contain worn or broken parts. Eventually, it may become necessary to remove the movement in a grandfather clock. Remove the wooden case that encloses the face of the grandfather clock. This is called the bonnet. The actual movement will now be visible behind the face of the clock.
