That would make sense. Friction fit means strong tweezers to pull it (the cannon pinion) out?
Was just trying to put the bridge back over the centre/third/fourth wheels... I just can't align the axles. I'm not done dismantling but wanted to have a go at this... Wow, I hope the book gives tips because I can't see how I could ever put it back...

Ever thought of an easier hobby, like collecting vintage Campag on a zero budget?

Trust me, the advice in the book is good.
You need to remove the canon pinion to release the centre wheel. There’s a notch in the middle of the canon pinion; get your tweezers in that notch and lever the canon pinion away from the base plate without flinging it across the room.

Aligning the bridge for the train of wheels just takes practice. Look very closely and use your tweezers to gently move the arbors while pressing the bridge downwards. You have to be more gentle with the escape, pallet and balance pivots as they are very fine.

If I understand you correctly, it is being held in place by the cannon pinion which has a friction fit over the center wheel shaft. You remove it from the dial side.
You probably want to get a second opinion before believing me.
