Stuck Springbar Removing Link

[Rolextix]

Hello everyone, I don't know if any of you gentlemen have encountered this problem. I'm trying to size a friend's Ap 15400, I don't think this guy has cleaned it since he got it, when I cleaned it with veraet, black gunk came off the watch onto my brush, multiple times after rinsing the brush and watch. So I'm assuming there is gunk built up in the springbars not allowing me to get them loose and size it for him. I'm worried about scratching up the teeth on the bar, any ideas on how to get the bars loose so I can size it?

I don't have a 15400 but I'm not aware of any AP Royal Oaks that use springbars. I believe they use screws. And when they come from AP there is Loctite on them so heat should be applied to allow you to remove the screws without stripping them.

Negative on the spring bars and yes the loctite can be really tough so make sure you are using the correct size!!!!

owned a 15300 and a 15202 i can confirm theres no spring bars it uses screws on the bracelet or even when removing it from the case
