OK, I got it apart! Here is how I did it...
I lifted the tabs around the clock hoping it would give me enough room to clean the face with a thin shop towel, but no dice.
Then I tried to pull the mushroom shaped piece that the minute hand attaches to off with some pliers. Not working. Kept looking at that hole in the middle of it. At first I thought it might be a tiny allen hole so I tried a small allen wrench, but that did nothing. Then I got a great idea. I searched through my special Packard tools and came up with one that's not in the parts books. A small finish nail. I banged the sharp tip on some steel to take the point off. Then I put the mushroom shaped piece in between my linemans pliers where you would cut a wire with and held it. Put the nail in the hole and hit it with a hammer. At first, nothing happened. Then on the 8th hit...CRASH! The clock fell to the table. The tip was off and the face came right off.
The problem now is the clock hit the table with such force that a spring is sitting in the clock and I am not 100% sure where it goes. I think it goes on the shaft that holds the clock hands. It also fits around the slow/fast adjuster, but kind of snug. Not sure if it was there the force would have popped it all the way off of there. If anyone knows, please speak up!
