Setting to work i drilled a small hole in the pressed in steel insert, screwed in a self tapping screw and pulled the insert out so as i could now get to both sides of the brass to work on it by gently pulling the socle back into shape using steel dollys of the right form. Finishing off with varying grades of wet and dry and finally a cutting compound. I was pleased with the end result with only a very tiny tell tale sign of what had been done if scrutinised.
The rest of the the clock was a straight forward strip down and rebuild with a new mainspring and suspension.
